Yikes! You've had experiences! We have barn cats. I am 
afraid to poison the mice as then the cats will surely 
catch them and get poisoned themselves and cost me vet 
bills. Also, I don't mind the mice living in the wild 
areas doing their thing in the ecosystem. I just don't 
want them in the ecosystem of my house, car, or barn.

Oh, to have a Macadamia tree!
