We use mouse poison in the attic and the basement storage area and I have only seen one upstairs over the past 9 years. Mice are yucky but we've always had them with the woods so close by. I never thought to be worried about a health risk. When we lived in Arizona we used to get flying cockroaches that scared me badly. I think I prefer the mice!
