Snaptraps outside will take awhile. A rat colony can have up to 60 individuals. I don't know about mice. You have to kill and kill and kill. After 20 dead rats, I finally began harvesting sweet peppers.
Also, for snap traps. a good tip is to use some hot glue or bondit and glue dog food to the trigger. Otherwise, they will steal without tripping the trap. My catch rate went up 500% when I started the glueing.
