I've had good luck with the Kress brand traps and also the Ortho brand traps. The old wood Victor style traps only seem to work about half the time. I've been using crunchy peanut butter. I'll have to give the Tootsie Rolls a try.
As for poison, I've used Dcon pellets inside the cabin. Outside, I have the large rat bait boxes with a combo of Tomcat (Bromethalin) and "Just One Bite" Bars. they seem to like this better than the Tomcat with Diphacinone.
When it gets cooler (less/no bugs), I put a light coating of peanut butter on the poison bars/chunks that I have outside.
Managed to completely eliminate any mice in the cabin for about 3-4 months, until it started getting cool again, then I caught two in my inside traps last week.
Gonna have to break out another can of the "pest block" spray foam and steel wool....
