Easy solution, get a 5 gallon bucket and put about 1 1/2 gallons of water in it. Throw a couple of handfuls of sunflower seeds in the water and smear some peanut butter on the inside wall of the bucket. Then make a plank from the floor to the edge of the bucket using a scrap piece of wood. The mice, rats, and any other rodents in the area will walk the plank of death and not be able to resist diving into the bucket to get at the food. They can’t climb back out of the bucket and can only tread water for so long. After about a week the entire population will be whipped out.
