If you ever do put down any type of poison, make sure that you keep track of how many you put out and where you put them so you can put them in the garbage later or dispose of them safely. When we were living in Lake Tahoe the previous tenant had put out little green bottles of ant killer. The label said arsenic. I thought that I had found them all but my two-year-old found one. She was extremely premature and wasn't talking yet so she was unable to tell me whether she had ingested any of it or not. We were about 8 hours in the emergency room waiting to see whether she had any effects or not. Fortunately she didn't. To this day, I will not have any type of poison in my house. I have had really good luck with the sticky paper traps. I put cheese and peanut butter in the middle. It seems to get them every time. Once in a while they also catch me but at least they aren't going to kill me.
