I might make an owl box based on the pictures in the link posted.

The Louth Barn Owl Project won't put them in a yard if you use rat poison. Rightfully so, but it probably greatly reduces the places they can put them down.

I don't have poison down, but there's a good cat here. Well I thought so, until I put a trail cam out at the side of the house and saw a few shrews or mice.

I might need to put bait out for a while. If I saw an owl I'd pull it.

Two things that will attract an owl are the box and a source of food nearby, if you poison the mice you lessen the chance of getting an owl and also risk poisoning an owl
