I'm not sure poison is a good idea if the cat might catch the mouse before it dies and then eats it. They can get taxoplasmosis from an infected mouse, but it doesn't hurt the cat... not too sure about poison.

Avoid any poison especially with the cats around. Rodents that are desperate will gorge on it and die, but the others are careful and will only eat a little bit at a time. You'll see the poison on their droppings.

I like the metal traps with serrated edges. That along with the scented glue pads does the trick. Create little obstacle courses and puzzles.
If anything is still moving, then go for the pellet gun. Sorry, ICJ, but like the pro says This is War and Castle Law applies.

w/r/t dogs and cats: I have had mixed results. Only one barn cat I had as a kid was a great mouser. The retriever was a good hunter in her day, but now at 16(!) she's mostly done with that. Though she did take flight after a raccoon not too long ago, so I will still say Good Girl.
