@Tracy MungerHi Tracy,If you're going to poison the mice make sure you tell your tenants about this ahead of time, the day of, and while it's happening--because if Fido the Dog or Fluffy the cat eats a poisoned mouse or chews up a poison box you will have some very unhappy tenants.They make poison boxes that contain the demised mouse vs letting it run around until it collapses--think about asking about something like that, and let the tenants know what it looks like and not to touch them or move them.Good Luck!
