I put snap traps and sticky boards in the run at night, after the chickens are locked in the coop, and then take out the traps and boards before opening the coop in the morning. I've caught 6 or 8 mice and a baby mole in the past month. Our run is designed so nothing bigger than a chipmunk should be able to get in (although I constantly worry about raccoons and keep looking for more ways to block them).
