We had a situation in our attic.  Mice (who would sometimes enter the walls and die...lovely smell), bats and flying squirrels.  The squirrels were noisy (way smaller than grey squirrels) and we eventually called some professionals.  They went over everything in the house and sealed up every possible point of entry.  The removed the mice and flying squirrels.  The put in a one way door for the bats, so they could leave but not return, since it was illegal to harm them.   Have not had any issues since.  So: call a pro.  A mouse can get through a hole the size of a dime.

Now my shed, it has had loads of mice problems.  They chew up anything soft (like rope) to make nests.  Since I also had a lot of insects and spiders in there, I tried something I hadn't: a bug bomb/fogger.  Cleared some stuff out and let it go. There were a [I]lot[/I] of dead bugs, but it also has kept the mice out quite effectively.  I guess it shouldn't be surprising that they don't like that poison.

Edit: I'm not sure if the stuff you get at the hardware store is the same, but the poison the pro guys use is slow acting and it makes the mice thirsty.  So they leave to get water, and die outside your house.
