D-Con is pretty "lightweight" as far as poisons go, but will still
kill them, and there is no guarantee they will die outside. I have
used mouse poisons in bait stations in my rentals, and have found mice
dead in the middle of the living room floor.
Still, poisons are probably the best way to go with a rodent problem.
