Don't you solve this by first making your garage and house impenetrable to rats/mice, other little creatures, then poison or trap/kill the ones left inside? That has been the approach exterminators used to help with my rat problems at a few house when I lived near Lake WA in Kirkland. We had tons of them. If you don't fix how they are getting in, this cycle will never end.
I agree with those who've said you can have no mercy in this war. I love animals as well but rats carry disease and will physically destroy wiring, insulation, etc. They are pissing and crapping in your garage and very likely your house. An ex in Seattle with a Mini had several visits to get wiring replaced after rats destroyed the engine compartment of her beloved little crap box. I hated that car. Sorry for the somewhat unrelated rant, this just reminded me of all of that.
