Freaking out over mouse bait blocks

So there were mice two months ago and an exterminator placed a bait block behind the store, now there is another mouse in the house. I am very concerned, because as I understand it, the mice run over the block, clean themselves then die, or atleast that's how it's supposed to work. I'm worried, because well if the mouse runs in the stove after running on the block then common sense would tell me there would now be poison in the stove. The block is very hard to get to since it's behind the stove. I wasn't really worried before about getting rid of the block, since all the previous mice died, but now I am very concerned.
 
Hi. Are you worried about the poison affecting your food cooked in the stove? Or wondering about cleaning it out?
 
Sounds like a very reasonable concern.

Also, I hate to say it, but the only really effective way of getting rid of mice is Victor traps (the name brand, not the crappy generic offshoots). It's nasty, and not for the squeamish, but after a couple of weeks they stop coming back.

We have those setup. I have to find a way to get that block from behind the stove.
 
I would assume that the amount of poison transferred by the mouse wouldn't be enough to hurt a human but I understand your concern at wanting to get rid of the block. In the meantime (as you can't get rid of the block for now) can you speak to the company who put them down and maybe they can reassure you on the transfer of poison? I have had similar in the past and the blocks were placed in the kitchen and the company didn't issue any warnings about the transfer of poisons etc so I'm assuming it isn't that much of an issue. Hope that reassures you a bit.
