Your going to have to put traps around.There are many bait traps available at home improvement centers.

  @Janet Pizaro yes bait trap is an good idea, but it would not keep them away for long enough time ..i think they may overcome this trap one day

  There is know other way but to keep putting poison down. The only other suggestion I can think of is if you have holes by a foundation u can seal them up with spray foam.

I get mice in my bottom kitchen cabinets. I put peppermint oil on cotton balls and it keeps the mice away. Maybe you could put some peppermint oil one cotton balls and spread them around you garden. Maybe the peppermint plant would work also

Can you get an outdoor cat? If weather doesn't permit totally outdoor cat, get one that is indoor/outdoor like mine are, (no indoor litterbox). It/ they go outside like a dog does, but are allowed inside house also.
