Out of your house for atleast a month is false. Why get an exterminator when you can do it your self. This what I did when I thought I had one mouse but end up catching nine of them including the babies in 11 days. Get some mouse traps and tie a piece of wheat bread or cereal to the metal trigger plate with thread and cover it with peanut butter. Place it perpindicular to the wall and wait for the rodents to take the bait. I got the bait info off the internet and from the exterminator that I called up. I caught my first mouse the next day. Trust me, it will work.
Good luck catching those rodents.

Exterminator for what, rats?
I've hired an exterminator for rats once; it was kind of expensive but worth it. I don't see why you would have to move out. They will find and cover all entrances where rats could get in, and then put out traps. They will check the traps every 2 days probably, take out the dead rats and put out new traps, or they could use live traps if you prefer that, and release the rats somewhere else. Once all the rats are out and more can't get in, you are set.
If you have the time and energy and aren't squeamish, you could do it yourself for a lot less money. Search carefully for entrances. You can cover them with hardware cloth if they are ventilation holes.
My preferred rat trap is the Rat Zapper. It is a battery operated trap. You put a piece of dry cat food in it, set it, and when the rat goes in it is instantly electrocuted. You discard the corpse, put the bait back in, and set it again. If it gets messed up, take out the batteries and wash it. It's safe for cats and dogs and babies; if they should stick a hand in, the could get a zap but will not be harmed.
