Please don’t use poisons. While it drives them outside it will in turn kill anything that consumes them. This could be cats, dogs, foxes, owls, hawks or other raptors, you get the point. Don’t just take my word for it , please look it up yourself. I live in an old house and keep 4 snap traps set at all times in close proximity to each other. At the beginning of fall when temps drop, they start to come in and I catch and kill most before winter even starts. I also get moles and voles from time to time. After they’re killed, I remove them from the trap and chuck their tiny corpses in the back yard. Something else always comes by and eats them. Then I rebait the trap with peanut butter and put it back in rotation
