eco/kid/pet friendly exterminators?

That's what I wanted done (but I'm not doing it myself--we're paying a lot of rent and were assured that included the LL paying someone else to do this sort of stuff, which I specifically asked about). The LL has decided that letting the exterminator put out ONE poison bate station every 6 months should do. Hahaha! I think rats stuck in a wall stink like nothing else, but can barely notice a tiny dead mouse.

I've not seen any signs of mice in our place yet, so I'm not eager to do much. The neighbors have a much less nice/well sealed kitchen (it's temporary Ikea stuff). Ours is really well put together and has very few places crumbs can hide and sustain or attract mice. Along with a "loose" kitchen the neighbors have small children so food stuff is more likely to be lurking in nooks no matter how much they clean, imo. Our apartment is really nice (owner's unit, while owners work abroad) and they will flip out and keep our deposit if we do the quick and dirty fixes I could get away with in our old rent stabilized dump so I'm not doing anything until we're invaded.

Oh, and you can see in several other mouse threads, that I strongly recommend the Victor Mouse zapper if you're looking for a trap. That thing works!
