I'm traumatized...

Stuff steel wool around water lines, vent hoses, etc. I'd put mouse traps everywhere they could possibly go.... and then places I'd think they wouldn't go. They hug walls.

Are you sure those so called cannibal mice aren't shrews? They eat meat..bugs and other mice....

I probably know first hand just how they got in! The dryer has a vent that usually has a screen on it outdoors. Depending on how this is done or a missing screen, they can come right into your home by going up the dryer vent hole that goes outside. Then they go underneath your washer and get in for water. I had rats get in a rental on the water years ago....yes Rats not mice and found a baby rat in my washer machine just like you found mice. I trapped them all and placed them in a burn barrel...fixed the vent with a heavy metal screen and problem was solved. You have more you don't know about yet...find where they are getting in and repair it. Sometimes they can get in through a hole they will chew through a wall.
