This is true.
About 6 months ago we had a report in the tech log on a 767 that there where noises like a mouse or rat from above in the pilots CB (circuit breaker) panel. I had to drop the panels down and fit several mousetraps. They are a poison bait on an extremely strong glue surround. The poison weakens the animal enough for the glue to be effective.
Joking aside the potential damage a mouse or rat can do to the wiring is a worry. That plane was grounded for a day, sealed up, till we where confident that there were no more animals
