I got a rat from under my shed last night, peanut butter on a Victor trap gets them every time. 39 more and I'll have enough for that fur coat for the Mrs.

We moved into a new house to us last year and found we had mice.
I went to the hardware store and picked up some steel wool, canned foam,
2 different kinds of mouse traps, good old fashioned and a new one that reminds me of a chip clip baited with peanut butter, and poison.
Went around the foundation of the house and filled any crack or hole with steel wool and then foamed over it hoping they wouldn't chew it out.
Then set up my trap line and poison.
I caught 6 in 4 days and had some smell but since then nothing.
So they either got a hole lot smarter or as I like to think I just killed em all.
Good luck

Do NOT poison them. The stench of rotting rats inside your walls will plague the entire office for the next 4 months.
If you place traps in good locations you'll catch a bunch of little mice. However, some of the older, wiser rats will simply not fall for the trap. I had this happen at my place where I'd catch all the babies but no mouse mother.
Ultimately, the only thing that worked was getting a cat. We named him Jack the Giant Killer. However, I bet that snake would do wonders as well.

An M-1 might be just a little overkill, but a nice pellet rifle will give you an opportunity to increase your marksmanship skills. Or, if you want, you could practice your knife throwing skills.
