Is it permissible to electrocute mice with high-voltage electricity to quickly and painlessly get rid of them?

It is permissible to kill mice and other harmful vermin. This is indicated by the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Five vermin are to be killed in the lawful and sacred precincts: the snake, the speckled crow, the mouse, the rabid dog, and the kite." It is permissible to kill them by electrocution because it is one of the quickest methods of killing and does not contradict the principle of humane killing.
