Was taking the trash out this morning and happened to look down and find a pile of mouse poison pellets laying in the middle of my driveway where any bird or idiot kid could eat them. For the past few years I have been using mouse poison in my garage because the mice get into my camping gear. The problem is that damn mice don't get killed until they have already hauled a substantial amount of the pellets to some other hiding spot. I had gotten a moving blanket out of the garage two days earlier and apparently the poison pellets had fallen out of it.
I don't want to poison anything except the mice -- but that isn't working -- so I am just going to buy a few multi-mouse traps and give up on the poison.
