I never post links, so I hope that works, but a tool like this is perfect for pulling electrical staples, and if you're removing more than 10, I believe you'll be infinitely happier that you're using these as opposed to any other style of pliers.
This is the one I have that is really great but it's essentially the same tool as in that Amazon link and the OP, leverage wise at least. The mechanism is a bit different so this one has a bit more surface area for gripping nails but I assume that other one works similarly well, and is way better than nippers/snips like this which are the things I always have on my tool belt and often use for cutting and pulling smaller nails.
Yup. These are end cutting pliers I bought for the same task. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000BYDYD

Looking at the clearance of the pictured staple, a regular set of pliers will probably work.
If for some reason you need to lever the staple out, get a shim whose width is about the same as the height of the staples. Slide the shim next to one leg of the staple. Grab that leg, lean the pliers on the shim, and lever it out. Repeat on other side if necessary.
If you are looking for a reason/excuse to buy a new tool, try an End Nipper. These have large rounded cheeks that work as the fulcrum of the lever.
