Well depends on the toxins. I need to remember if the toxins of Lily of the Valley can be used as one. It definitely could be used to drive rodents out if needed though.

From what I gathered, Lily of the Valley is poisonous to when ingested, causing abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhoea, as well as reduced heart rate, up to heart failure. They contain among others, saponin, which is poisonous to 'cold-blooded' (poikilotherm) animals in particular fwater organisms and insects in higher concentrations. They also contain Azetidine-2-carboxylic acid which, if incorporated into proteins of other plants and animals causes a wide range of toxic and teratogenic disorders. (All these information from the English Wikipedia) So unless Yuuka wants to grow Lily of the Valley there, she's killing in the short- and middle-term pretty much everything.

Or it could be magic poison which harms only that which Yuuka and/or Medicine want it to harm, and only to the extent which Yuuka and/or Medicine want that target to be harmed (like the non-lethal but horrifyingly painful platypus venom). After all, the poison is being spewed forth from a 120cm tall living doll, who is being lifted off the ground by what is essentially the personification of Gardening.
Real-world biochemistry doesn't necessarily apply in Gensokyo, except where it would be funny, sexy or overly dramatic.
