Banishment, Constrain Being, and Exorcism are what I was looking at but the first two only keep it out of an area, while the Exorcism spell only seems to apply to posessing entities and not to poltergeists or haunting entities, or the others. And even then, there's only a 50% chance of sending it back to its dimension, assuming they fail both their re-posession attempts!

Is there a better way? Is there any way to get rid of the non-posessing ones? Besides just outright killing it?

If you can get rid of them in the 1st place I think the sanctuary spell will keep them out.

That's a Beyond The Supernatural 1st Edition spell, to trap entities within an object.

Is the item useful for anything once you've created it?

Immure Entity
Range: Touch or 20 feet.
Duration: Instant; imprisonment is indefinite.
Saving Throw: Standard.
P.P.E.: 200
Level: Eleven.

This invocation is not a summoning ritual, but is extremely useful in directing and controlling supernatural "entities." Immure can actually imprison an entity inside an object. The act of imprisonment can be punishment of as part of a scheme. An imprisoned entity still retains all of its abilities, although it is trapped. Consequently, a seemingly harmless ring or medal could contain a poltergeist, trapped entity, or a possessing entity which can still use its abilities to help or hurt. The immured entity must obey the mage who imprisoned it and can not strike out at him while imprisoned.

There are only two ways to free an immured entity. The arcanist who trapped it releases it by cancelling the magic, or by destroying the object in which it is imprisoned. To prevent easy escape, the arcanist will usually use a hard, durable substance, such as metals, stones and gems, but any non-living substance can be used (wood, skull, etc.).
