I always embed hardware cloth into the hole for good measure before foaming it.If you catch one in a glue board, you can use vegetable oil to free it once outside without harming it.I've always used the snap traps with PB as @Victor S. suggests, but the most important thing is to find their means of access and block that. 

@Jay Maranan just an FYI, my primary property is 5 stories, of which almost all the carpet in the units has been removed(90%)...the original flooring is beautiful oak, that was original installed over 90 years ago, however, the units that just have the carpet torn up, sanded and stained the original flooring are much louder that the units, that I lay down subfloor, underlayment foam, and new floors over the original solid wood(I know it is sinful to purists, to not refinish the original wood, but it cost more, takes longer, is louder, and less isolation of bugs, and leaves some of the earthquake retrofit hardware exposed, if I do that) ....BUT, with carpet and/or wood floors it will be noisey...that's why the 5th floor are the "PentHouse" units, since no upstairs neighbors, even though identical layout to the below units, they can demand a bit of premium, especially if your new tenant has lived in apartments before.

Any rule change that affects the tenant’s wallet or how they live in the rental property day-to-day can be considered a change in the terms and conditions of that lease agreement contract.

Even simple things like updating fixtures (plumbing, lighting, hardware, blinds) and paint can make a big difference.

Hey here's a question: if I buy say 100 x $25 gift cards for the hardware store, and go spend them, can I claim that on tax?

However, 36” bi-fold doors can be purchased from Menards for approx $35 with all hardware included.

I have success using Google Wallet for the one property I manage myself.  

If my landlord sent me a bill that said my rent was $0  I wouldn't pay either and I return wallets with the cash still inside.

I do understand that this would be termed an installment sale, and capital gains would be spread out over time.I met a man who had a property in WA when I lived there that had an old hardware store building on it and a residence.
