Rodent problem- Mice- need advice/suggestions

I built a 32' X 36' building to park my RV in a few years ago. Never seen a trace of a mouse until last week. I was moving a grill and a fat mouse scurried from under it. I set 2 traps and put out a tray of the old school DCON pellets. The next day one trap was gone and the entire tray of pellets eaten or carried off. I know the old school DCON has been banned. I looked online and see the "new" formula DCON, a product called "Tomcat" and several others. Seems like all of these mouse poisons whether pellets or blocks have very little active ingredient (.005) in most cases. Thats 99.995 % inactive ingredients. Seems like a ripoff.
Just wanted to get some opinions on what you all use and recommend.
Thanks, Don (getting a cat is not an option BTW)

You can?t kill them all with poison.
My problem is squirrels and chipmunks. Everything I pick up in my building and shed is full of hickory nut hulls.
Doesn't have to be quite so fancy as the photo but it works.

We have enough gun laws, what we need is IDIOT control.
Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.
I thought getting old would take longer. :shock:
I made one of the bucket traps some years ago and it works. I made it so the ramps hooked over the edge of the bucket and they were easily removable for when the bucket needed emptying. A couple of good things about it was it never needs resetting and the water keeps the smell down if you don't check it for a week. Bob
I wouldn't want mice eating bait and them going in my camper to die, plus I wouldn't want my dogs to eat it by accident.
Some cost $45, and some cost $6. I spent $375, best money I ever spent.
The old poisons, the ones that worked - like D-Con, sent the varmints in search of water.
Got a creek or pond nearby? Fill a tub?
This product is made to keep mice out of tractor cabs, combines and other farm equipment....it also works great to keep them out of a camper.
I have used it for over 5 years and NEVER had a mouse invade my camper. I get it at a farm/home store for about $11 a box of 4 packets.
Get it at most farm/home stores, Wal-Mart, etc. including Amazon.

Once he brought in a chipmunk. I left the door open until the chipmunk ran out.
To get rid of the mice, I went to the feed store and asked. They said the small amount of mouse bait is weak for idiot protection.
The large barn containers were super strong and kills mice. They were right. The crap I bought at Wal-Mart sucked. So I got the barn variety.
I fed the dogs outside for a few days while the poison worked on the mice. Poof! They were gone!!
That's awesome!!!!
