A shot gun works wonders, but it is a little hard on the roof trusses.
As an alternative consider using baited mouse traps for a couple of days to get rid of the majority of the critters , then put out a couple of DeCon bait trays to finish the job.
Your real problem is to find out how they are getting in and why they are there. What are they eating in the attic that draws them in, especially in this hot season? Normally mice invade homes when the weather gets cold.
Maybe you have nesting squirrels, which is a much bigger problem!
