Mice in the dorms

We have found several mice in our suite over the last few months. It all started with a mouse I saw in the trash can, which later died in our room. We recently caught a mouse running around our suite, and yesterday, my roommate saw a mouse jump off my desk into my laundry basket. I hear a rustling and squeaking as I’m sitting here typing this right now.

My question is, what do we do about this problem? We tried calling pest control and they brought over wierd black boxes which are supposed to be mouse traps but they’re not working. What kinds of traps are the most effective (if you know) but not too expensive? This is a real problem - I’m not afraid of mice, but they may carry all sorts of diseases.

Thanks in advance for any input.
