I only recommend it if you have a pet free home for a while, and can handle little mouse bodys bleeding all over your house. Otherwise, sticky traps worked for us a while back. Is there anyway you can find where they are coming from? Walk around your house and check your foundation for apparant holes, if you find any then use steel wool in the hole.

BLEEDING?????
i put the poison in cabinets with closed doors and im making the dogs stay in the same room as me so they dont go sniffing for anything!
I would set traps for them but im too affraid to see them. I know i know, it sounds like im contridicting myself when i say im not scared then i am scared and so on. But im not scared like OMG DONT KILL ME, but scared like EWW gross their loose in my house touching my stuff.
I just dont want to see them struggling in the traps on even have to pick them up when their dead to dispose of them. Of course if the dogs were even thinking about sniffing them i'd pick them up, but just a preference to not touch them @ ALL!!
i dont really want to go to bed either, i was told when it gets quite they come out...well if they come out and im sleeping that means they could die in the open...then im gonna have to see them! YUCK! plus my boyfriend is gone out of state so that mean im gonna have to get rid of them with my own two hands!!
(just talking about it makes me wanna throw up, but i've never had a mouse problem before)
