New apt. and sick: Call the local health department and report the infestation so they can check it out. The children's sickness may not be related to mice, e.g. Maybe allergies to things in new apartment, exposure to new set of sick kids. Sometimes apartments have been fumigtated and have residual pesticides and toxic chemicals that make kids sick. Check for lead in paint etc. You have to check everything.

Move ? : If you can’t fix the underlying problem, it should be no problem to break your lease and find a better apartment, especially if it is causing you family health problems
