The waxy mouse bait can be placed into bait traps that only the mice can get into and there's no way they can drag them around. You can find them at hardware stores. I haven't had any mice in the TM yet. I suspect it's because my garage (close by) is heated and they like it better in there. Every fall, I set out about 8 traps in the garage and usually get 4 or 5. I keep the traps out until I go two or three weeks with no mice.
I put a block of the poison on the floor of the TM by the refrigerator but I don't think anything ate any of it. One warning about poisons. They are supposed to drive the animal to find water (makes them thirsty)- usually assumed to be somewhere else. Well, I had a mouse eat some of this bait right in the garage (I didn't even have it in a trap) and he didn't make it more than 10 feet before he died and smelled up the garage. That's my biggest fear with the poisons- dead smelly mouse bodies. Not much else to do though.
