When it no longer works a glue trap will do the job but you gotta put some good bait such as prawns which the mice love. Since I ate all the remaining prawns at dinner, I had to get some bread put some jam on it and leave it on the centre of the trap.
The good part about the traditional trap is that you can set the rat free, but you need to go at least 3 miles away so that it does not visit your home again.
