We resorted to poison this summer, so did our neighbours. We put it under broken clay flower pots with a piece of drainpipe leading towards it, so there was no danger of any birds taking it, and no hedgehogs could get close enough. Between us we found several rat corpses which were treble bagged according to the instructions, and then we got rid of the poison.
Sorry if using poison offends, but sometimes it isn't just one garden that's affected and there are neighbours with children to think about.
