I'd suggest getting a sachet or two of mouse poison & putting them

Trouble with poison is that a) it's not a particulary pleasant death
b) they'll die somewhere inaccessable to all but flys and smells...

Warfarin-based poisons are not particularly unpleasant. The victims just
get weaker and weaker and lapse into a coma.

The Warfarin tends to prevent the blood clotting, and the passage of
food down the gut abrades the villi (a design feature to allow nutrients
to be absorbed through the walls of the blood vessels) and the animal
loses blood internally, and weakens and dies. There is no pain involved.

Only a right arsehole could describe an horrendous death by warfarin
as "not particularly unpleasant"

See how smug you would be if you were forced to ingest it!

Prat.

To the original poster, use a live trap which is very effective and
release outside.
