I feed the birds and have for a long time. All we have around the feeder at times are squirrels looking for dropped seeds.

@goldensrbest  Poison? Why, just because you don't like them? Agree or disagree, it is wrong. That creature has every right to be here just as the birds do.

I completly agree. Live and let live; it is their right as one of God's creatures.

I had a similar problem with a couple squirrels eating bird seed.  Sprinking a little cayenne pepper didn't seem to make any difference.

What helped considerably was putting out the white Safflower seeds .... it's a bitter seed that squirrels won't eat.  Birds gobble it up.   I don't know the "rat situation" with this seed.  Best price for Safflower seeds is at Walmart.

Google is your friend.

If you have Golden Retrievers @goldensrbest and you put poison out, not only will the mouse eat the poison so will your dog!! 😳

Or if the mouse eats it and dies in your yard. your dog will find the dead mouse!

Where there is one rat, there are many.  The recommended solution is usually to remove what attracted them in the first place.  And you can try a humane exterminator, but I don't know if they can do anything.

Lol, that's what my brother said when I was killing ants  when I was under 10 years old.  The only way ants mosquitoes mice snakes Etc survive on my land is if they have an invitation.

@goldensrbest Kitty could be a stray. We have them around here but there is a spay/neuter/release program here, thankfully.
