So, not the snap traps.
Rat poison is usually anti-coagulant. It kills rats (or anything else that ingests) slowly. That means if you have mice, they can eat and then will die slowly and in a number of days can die anywhere. Then potentially have dead mice in your walls or elsewhere that you dont want rotting corpses.

Birds eat mice, so if a bird eats a mouse that ate your poison, you will likely kill that bird with your poison. Someones cat could also eat that poisoned mouse and get sick and die.

Bird or other wild animals or pets or even kids could directly eat the poison and get sick or die as well.

Your unlikely to kill all the mice with poison anyways, so the problem will continue. You need to find the source of the mice and get rid it and all the mice.
