* Toxicity: Nail polish remover contains chemicals like acetone, ethyl acetate, or methyl acetate. These are toxic if ingested or inhaled in large quantities.
* Exposure: For nail polish remover to be lethal, a mouse would need to ingest a significant amount or be exposed to concentrated fumes in a confined space. Simply spilling some near a mouse is unlikely to kill it.
* Harmful Effects: Exposure could cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. If ingested, it could lead to digestive upset and potentially neurological effects.
* Not a Recommended Method: Using nail polish remover to kill a mouse is inhumane and not an effective pest control method. There are much better and more humane ways to deal with a mouse problem.
If you have a mouse problem, it's best to use humane traps or contact a pest control professional.
