I have to disagree. I just killed over 20 mice in my house (mostly garage) and over 32 in my xgf's apt (PM me if you wanna see pics). Mating season for them I guess?
Poison in the long run may work but it is not efficient. They multiply quickly and learn even quicker. Their behavior is rather amazing! The will nibble bits of poison/food before fully indulging. Should they get sick, they will avoid that food. If they somehow reproduce like cockroaches, their offspring seem to eat it and poop it out without any effect. I only see poison working if you buy the super super strong industrial rat poison(?).
Instead, I recommend traps that shock them. A trap that fits over 6 rats+. I (borrowed) got one from the local tomato packing co here and it got 90% of the mice/rats. The rest my dog killed or the squishing (snapping) traps got 'em.
My problem on my Twin is the bugs attracted to the hood and top due to the amazing car wax smell (Maguire's).
