1) Find how they're getting in and close up the holes/gaps/etc.
2) CLEAN UP. Rodents usually come in to eat. You need to remove their food supply. If you are keeping raw foods, then put them in a rodent-proof area: food in the fridge/freezer is safe. Food that's kept at room temperature is OK if it's in cans or glass jars. Bagged foods or raw food should be put into solid containers that they can't smell through or chew through.
3) Clean up your garbage. Take out the trash as frequently as possible. Don't leave dirty dishes or leftovers out in the open. Either put leftovers in the fridge or throw them out and empty the trash right away.
4) Traps. Move the traps around every couple of days, and change the kind of bait you use. Peanut butter is very effective. Keep in mind that trap placement is key. Read the trap directions on where to place them. Random locations are no good. You need to put the traps alongside walls and in corners where the rodents travel.
