Deb, there are many good gates available to cut out the hum. The real trick is to make sure you don’t turn them up too much and lose quieter notes which can make things sound a bit odd. In my case the product (TH-U) I use has a gate built in and one can get shy of all the hum and I cut out below -60dB or so which does the trick. Some other pedals have gates built in.

I would look around at various gates. The Noise Killer is highly rated.
