I'm very leery of mouse/rat poison.  I got to the farm last Friday and 
Saturday morning one of the dogs, not one of mine...the owners', got a nosebleed.  I 
was the only one here and I raced the hemorrhaging dog to the vet and it's 
going to be okay.  It had gotten a decon filled rat. The poison was away from 
the dog's reach but a stmbling aorund rat or mice came into the yard.

I've heard people swear by Bounce fabric softener sheets... strewn around the 
trailer... some say it works, others say mousie uses them to make a bed.  

Good luck, have a safe trip south. Please don't bring us any more mousies, we 
have plenty already here.
