My sister is infested like you would not believe. She resisted
putting out poison because she has house dogs. I think the mice are
interested in the dog's food.

Anyway, the dogs she has are small. She had one of the dogs eat one
of the mice. The vet has told her that the dogs would have to eat
more than one to be in any danger. She was not going to take a chance
on poison one of her pets.

She plans to put down sticky strips next.

I was most interested by your ace in the hole. Antifreeze. I would
be interested if anyone has knowledge if Antifreeze would pose the
same danger to house animals as poison does.

She put the poison in places like closets and under kitchen sink so
she could be sure that the dogs could not directly get the poison.
