You are quite right. When using poison and the mouse is dead, and you are not aware of that it will start smelling very bad. How often I went out people thought the smell came from waste pipes etc. But ones checked under the kickboard dead mice all over the places.Trouble is using poison means the mice go all over the house and die.
I prefer traps set at various places and regularily checked and reset if needed.
The 'Better Mouse Trap' is exellent, and easy to set.
I also agree copper all the way if possible. First of it doesn't look that flimsy and when polished it looks very good quality work. I also try not using as much fittings, always bend the pipes as much and as long as possible.
