I do wonder if your increase in Mice immediately after the decrease in Rats is related, perhaps they don't cohabitate well?

Nailed it there, if you have rats you do not have large numbers of mice as the rats force the mice out. They hate the competition apparently. Conversely, lots of mice = no rats. We have bait stations, refilled every 8 or so weeks and I have a handy way of knowing when they are due to be refilled - its called a cat. If he starts bringing rats in its time for more bait...
