Tenant complaining about rats in the walls.

I have a triplex where the middle tenant says she keeps on hearing mice or rats running in the walls/ceiling. However, the side tenants do not report hearing anything. I've asked this tenant if she is seeing any droppings or other physical signs. She said no. She did give me a video recording that did have sounds of possibly movement in the walls but I cant say it was conclusive.

Anyone have any experience here and have possible suggestions?

Get her some fast trak blox and bait stations.  Tell her to one put in the basement (if there is one) and behind the stove. If there are any mice that will do the job. If there are rats then you'll need to do something different. Usually (in Ohio) it's mice but tenants don't all know the difference.
