Re: [FWDLK] Mouse Poison as a deterrent...

In a word, "Rat Zapper".  I have used for several years in crawl space under 
my home.  Works well, and you never lose a dead rat to smell up your home 
for a couple of weeks.  I have done that once with poison, and never again.

Most all these poisons require a source of water to activate them. The
poison gives the mouse a raging thirst and when they drink it's very
quick.
A basement is a bad place to use it if there is a sump or suchlike
there, as the mouse may get onto a hidden area while dying.
I can't use poison since my cats think mice and other such critters are
a moving buffet. They also sit on the porch and watch cat TV (birds at
the feeders).
