I know it's the wrong time of year to be worried about mice but during autumn when they start to move inside, I put out packets of mouse and rat poison. It contains an anticoagulant which causes the critter to bleed to death internally. If another animal also gets ill after eating the dead mouse, it will be a fox. They are an even greater danger to the environment introduced from overseas many years ago. I give them no quarter.
