dead mice in electrical panel!!!
 
just tossing in my vote for traps--poison leaves 'em to die in the
wall.... NOT GOOD!

I just found two mice face down in my electrical panel, up against
the 200-amp service lugs---only dumb luck (If it weren't for dumb
luck, I'd have none at all) kept my house from burning down. I guess
the electrician punched out an extra hole in the panel box that he
forgot to plug. I recommend you check out your panelbox for such
holes! Electrical fires aside, it sucks cleaning bile from in between
all the breakers!

You can recognize mouse bile, visually? How can you tell it's not
spider vomit?

I once opened a meter socket and two live mice jumped out. They had a nice
nest built in there. The meter was fed from an underground PVC conduit that
had broken so they had a private entrance as well.

One is orange and the other yellow. Or vise versa.

It gets a little crowded in the panel when critters like this move in :

Were the mice killed by poisons or did they electrocute themselves, that
having poisons about earlier might of kept from happening? How would ya
know?
