Nasty as crap.

I am hesitant to put out poison because sometimes my dog comes with me. I have considered tossing poison under the house, it has a closed in foundation so the dog could not get under there but would rather have something that will keep them out.


If you choose to put poison out under the house, even though it is enclosed and the dog cannot get under there, choose one that is only toxic to the first generation. What I mean by that is that some poisons have a second generation toxicity meaning that if your dog or any other animal ate a mouse poisoned by it, then they would be poisoned as well.
