Not to mention you don't have control of where animal one might crawl into to die that would need to be cleaned out yet hard to get to.
Trap will fix it now for the existing crittter(s).
Closure of openings will ensure you don't have to trap future animals.

When our rat problem got to be bad enough to where I got tired of shooting them, my wife and I went to poisoning them. We used a product called "Rat X", which is marketed as "pet (and livestock) safe". It would kill the animal that ate it, but would metabolize quickly enough to not be a danger to whatever ate that animal. Our vet recommended it.
