Default What do you use for mouse/rat poison (Bromethalin, Brodifacoum,Bromadiolone, Chlorophacinone, or Diphacinone)?

What works best for mouse/rat/gopher poison & in what concentration?

I already use rat traps on the floor in out-of-the-way places, but,
in the basement drawers and shelves, I don't want a trap which might
snap on an unsuspecting human (nor would it fit in some spaces).

So I just want to drop a few pieces of poison in the drawers and
on the shelves that have droppings in them.


The old stinky moth balls might be an alternative. Mice don't
like the smell any better than humans do. The moth balls seem to keep
the mice out of the bench drawers in the shop on our farm.
I put some moth balls in an old barn that skunks moved into. I
don't know if that got the skunks to move or if it was something else.
They're gone though.
