We had this problem once, and if you use poison there is a good chance that the rodent will die in the walls and you have the odor for at least two weeks. I also had a cat that did a great job, but that was a traumatic experience for me (long story). The best, by far, was an electronic pest control that we purchased at our local hardware store. We plugged the small unit into an outlet in an area where we heard the rodents, and the device would emit a high-pitched sound that the rodent could hear but we could not. This sound caused the rodents to leave. It worked. This was better than anything we had tried. We left it plugged in, and we never had a rodent problem again.
