I agree. I hate the idea of using poison. We’ve used Critter Control in the past, and they sealed off gaps and as far as I was told, did not use toxins. I believed they used traps as well. Pets can also become sick if the mice venture out to die and are eaten by the pets. Cats can also be helpful problem solvers in this department! :) Best, Margo
