There is also the risk of your favorite pet eating the dead mouse or the poison and subsequently dying. Control entry points. Field mice can slip through narrow spaces, can jump, and given enough time, chew through about anything. Mice will enter your home through pet doors, through cracks in the foundation, open basement windows, and along pipes. Look for mouse droppings both on the inside and outside of your home for clues to where they enter.
