This technique works. String or dental floss.

The problem with poison is that when the rodent dies, the remains will quickly start to stink. You are screwed if the little bastach is in a wall or ceiling.

Yes, I must confess I was a wee bit proud when I caught two mice in one trap. But the next night I caught a baby possum. That wasn't so nice. Haven't set any more traps in that location.
