More details to this question:
Our apartment has mice! We asked our landlord to take care of the situation. They did not care. We had to take care of the situation by ourselves. My husband could catch a couple of them so far, but I believe there our more mice in our tiny one bedroom apartment in Manhattan. I am very scared of mice, and I don’t know what to do! Please help and let me know what we can do! There is still 6 month of our lease left, and moving and broker cost a lot of money for us!

You need to call 311 and file a complaint with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and request an inspection. You also need to file an HP action against your landlord in Housing Court.
