Perhaps traps or cat next time ;)
My - now deceased cat - was the best mouser/ratter I'd even seen. He caught and killed a combination of nearly 30 in less than a year.
Haha - it must be the moon cycle.
A week ago I found a dead, smelly and very flat rat had crawled up between the dining chair frame and cushion ... and a friend has some very smelly road kill stuck up under the bottom of her car.
