I live in a rural area and have more than the occasional rodent running around the workshop. Rather than use baits I use this method to control them.
I 3/4 fill a bucket with water then put some sunflower seeds on top of the water. The bucket is placed next to a rail of the shed wall, rodent walks along the rail to get to the seeds, jumps into the bucket and can't get out. I empty the bucket every few days and generally tip out a couple of drowned pests. This way there are no poisoned rats/mice for dogs to eat which is usually fatal for the dog.
The ultrasonic pest deterrent's are a good backup too.
My cars in the workshop are parked on carpet as well. Its surprising how cold a concrete floor can get and how much that cold affects batteries, engine and transmission oils.
