I have had the same concerns. Their habits are, however, different enough that we can target the rats without endangering the squirrels and chipmunks. Put the poison in very difficult to access little cubby holes, inside the building, in its deepest and darkest recesses. Put it up high, on any shelving, tool boxes, etc. The rats will find it. Other critters won't. I even put it up under my back deck, in the support structure, and the squirrels never seem to find it. The rats do. That, and find their burrows, and pour it down those. Even if they hang out in the garage, they will have burrows somewhere near it. That's the best way to target them without endangering desirable wildlife.
