No experience of this, but personally I'd contact RSPCA for advice:

Providing you`ve no pets or children, put a dish of poison down. Read instructions very carefully and wear gloves when handling. Drastic, but does work."Ignore the eejits...it saves your blood pressure and drives `em nuts!"

Don't touch it with your hands the natural chemicals on your skin burn them
And don't put it in water.. that will kill it too.
