Just what kind of rodents are you trying to kill off?
I mentioned this to my SO, and she said about the Strange News "Probably rats. Smells good to mice..."
If you live in a suburban area, other things are possible. My SO grew up in an area where raccoons had moved in, and used the storm drains as their private highways. People where she grew up quickly learned to put out garbage in lockable metal trash cans. Raccoons were adept at opening and getting into anything else to find tasty snacks.
An old friend lived in DC for some time, in an older building with mice and roaches. He recounted going to bed one night, and waking up with the bed on the other side of the room from where it had been when he got in. He had no memory of moving it, and speculated the roaches all got together to pick it up and move it while he was sleeping, just to mess with his head.
I suspected he had done it while intoxicated enough to not recall doing so, but I couldn't rule out his speculation...
