Please don't go down the poison route. It has unintended consequences.
Rodents are part of the food chain. Foxes, birds, bobcats, and other creatures consume rodents. Included are house cats, even the indoor only ones. A poisoned rodent doesn't die immediately, but can move on to invade "the next house", where diligent house felines may reside. Consuming a poisoned rodent ends up poisoning the next critter up in the food chain.
