Exterminators deal with them all the time and can supply stronger stuff because they are licensed to use it. Call one to get rid of them for you.

We have an annual plan with a pest control guy. A former neighbour kept chickens and he didn't use a lot of care with feed storage and the neighbourhood became infested with rats. The new owner has cleaned it up and the rats have gone--now we have only field mice lol
At any rate, he visits once a month to check on things, we can call him free for an extra visit if a problem (more mice, wasp nests etc) show up.
However, termites and carpenter ants would be an extra charge--they aren't easy to get rid of. Get a pro.
