I suspect you're looking for arsenic as your answer, as this element is effectively toxic to mammals, including mice, rats, etc. However, it'd be the wrong answer for a few reasons.
The first reason is that arsenic is no longer used as a pesticide pretty much anywhere in the world, due to its toxicity to humans, and its tendency to remain in the environment.
The other reason is that, in sufficient dosage, a huge number of components of the Periodic Table -- elements -- are toxic to humans, and some are hyper-toxic. Polonium, for instance, (Po 210) has an LD50 (Lethal dose in 50% of the test population) of perhaps 0.1-0.3 GBq, making it far more toxic than arsenic.
