I learned from my Mom that the fastest way to catch a mouse in a trap is to use a little bit of bacon fat. She would poke a wee bit of bacon fat inside the tube on a mouse trap, and then singe the bacon fat with a flame from a match. It usually isn't long before we would hear the trap snap. The mice come for the bacon scent much sooner than they come for peanut butter or cheese.
One quick tip, if you have a dog or a cat inside the house, you can use a small piece of PVC pipe to put the mixture in where the rats can get to it but the dog or cat cannot.
Indeed look up squirrel IPM and a t shaped pvc pipe plans can be downloaded from the local county ag extension office. Just construct a much smaller version of the tube feed station. Keep in mind the tube has to be a t shape so the rats don't have to climb into the feed access ends. Squirrel feed stations are w shaped to prevent outdoor life from eating treated toxic grains. I don't know if rats will exit the tube by backing up. So perhaps pipe diameter possibly has to be large enough for the rat to turn around to exit the tube.
You can also use a rectangle plastic container with a round hole at one end so only the mice rats can get in. I put the bait at the other end. They go in and out the die! Just saying
1 Tbsp black pepper, 2 colves of crushed garlic, ½ tsp cloves and ¼ tsp peppermint oil. Place the ingredients in a saucepan filled with 1½ cups of water. Boil for three to five minutes, let cool. Strain the mixture and place into a spray bottle. Spray on areas where rodents are a problem. They will be repelled by the smell. Doesn't work on Mothers in Law.
It talks about being a repellent, but then attracts the mouse to something that kills them. I’m not necessarily against this solution, but I think more accurate wording makes sense. It’s similar to poisoning the mice, but wouldn’t necessarily pass on bad effects to any animal/bird that consumes them, which is an improvement.

Ten mice died behind a wall in the kitchen and the place smelled like death for 2 years . Dead animals in the walls are the worse thing when trying to sell or rent a property . 🐀
It's only this year we are beginning to see mice in the garden. I think it is because our neighbours who had cats have moved away. I spoke to a pest controller and told him I thought all the urban foxes we see around every night would keep them down. He told me that foxes have lost the ability or need to hunt whist people walk along to TESCO's at the end of the day and buy them discounted barbequed chickens!
Rats and mice LOVE peanut butter!!! I recommend using peanut butter mixed 50 /50 with DRY Plaster of Paris. You can use newspaper to give it some heft if you need to toss the poison in where the rats or mice hide ( like crawlspaces for example ) Put a big wad of the mixture in the middle of the sheet of newspaper, fold it up and chuck it where it needs to go. They will not get very far and will die very quickly.
@@lil_old_man202 I got the recipe from watching one of the men hired by the city of The District of Columbia; it was like one of those 'mini' documentaries where they follow person X around and film what they do - in this case, killing rats. So I got it 'from the horse's mouth' , so to speak.
The mixture is only good for the first 15-30 minutes. After that it becomes great food for the mice. Slightest moisture activates the yeast and turns into dough which doesn’t kill the rodents.
Thank you! I was going to try this mixture until I read your comment. I just found a mother rat and a baby rat outside in our backyard in a storage container with a rats nest lining the bottom!! Any suggestions that work would be appreciated.
bicarb of soda instead of yeast and put mixture in a small food container with a lid with one end having a rat sized hole. or use a rectangular margarine container to keep mixture dry

From my experience the single most effective way of stopping mice in your roof space is to use expanding foam on your outdoor air conditioning cable conduits. Cable conduits on the outside of your house from floor to roof space are like highways for rodents. After I did that no more mice in my roof and I can sleep at night. If you have rodents in your roof you need to inspect your outside walls and find the point of entry. I used to poison but now I have a mechanical trap I purchased with hinged doors that swing only one way which can catch ten to twenty mice at a time. Just the smell of other mice attracts them, no bait required.
That only works until they gnaw thru the foam. Best way to fill cavities is with steel wool. You've got to ram the steel wool with some sort of steel spike..I use an old screwdriver or similar. The steel wool must be really compacted so use the spike and hammer to tap wool to compact so they can't unravel the wool. That's it job done🇦🇺🙋♂️🇦🇺
@@neville4451 interesting, will keep in mind. There is no way they can chew thru the foam. I filled almost half the conduit with expanding foam on the inside, used a whole large spray can or two. The conduit is about 4 metres high to the ceiling (it is a large cable conduit, not small, 3x large air cons) and they would have to chew thru about 2 metres of foam. They have not even chewed the foam that came out the end on the outside. Expanding foam is cheap. You do not just seal off the end. You fill the inside and it expands everywhere inside. It is true that mice chew and could technically chew thru foam with ease. I find them strangely selective. Some things they chew alot, cardboard boxes, rubber matts, but other things they choose not to. I got lucky with the foam. They do not seem to like it. I tend to store things in heavy duty plastic bins in the sheds as they chew on just about everything else. So I understand your recommendation.
They will chew through foam. That is why products like Great Stuff have a foam for rodents. Something is put in the foam that tastes terrible to them so they won't chew it.
@towerofnaphtali4066 Yep I can get that. I'm mostly talking about small cavities..rodent size cavities. Yeah those plastic tubs are gold for storage. We have one of the deadliest snakes in the world down here, the brown snake. It's said here that mice only need a hole about the size of your pinky finger to traverse. And brown snakes can do likewise to hunt the mice. Last place I lived in was hundred year old stone house. Baby browns are born venomous as the adults hence plugging all holes externally and internally. Can't count the amount of times they'd come inside thru the open doggy door in summer for cool drink from the dogs water. I live on an agricultural peninsula so mice are pretty well fed here....just saying mate😎 🇦🇺😬🇦🇺
I was wildly successful getting rid of a mouse infestation using baking soda/instant potatoes/cocoa and butter. The mice did not die in the walls. They must have been so thirsty, they went outside looking for water. (my theory). I never smelled a dead mouse. (never found a carcass though). I had dishes of poisoned bait located around the house , with my security cameras pointed at the bait - I saw mice feasting on the bait. One day they were just gone.
Maybe you're too honest..it would've been a better story if you'd embellished, and claimed you saw dozens of rodents including the baby rodents, laying dead in the basement, or out in the yard. But honesty has a price, though commendable. I think they grew thirsty cuz when I lay out green rat poison, I find them drowned in the toilet. They were thirsty and couldn't get out. There I'm not lying
@@chrisr326 Ahh, youve given ne another piece of the puzzle. If i try Hemond1 ‘s method, above, i can provide really good water source just outside, luring them there once they’ve had the bait. (You can always get out if my place, there’s openings). Thanks mate
Honey Jiffy cornbread mix with baking soda does wonders. I saw this idea here on UA-cam and thought I'd try it, it worked like a charm. Also we used the electric rat trap we found on Amazon. We used peanut butter as bait, and let it sit. The light will blink red when the trap is empty, and green when there is a mouse inside. Just dump it out and continue to march. Also the sticky traps work wonders also. Just place them along the baseboards or around food sources. It sounds morbid, but it was sorta fun catching them.
She talks about mice and rats but shows a squirrel in the video at least they could get that part right, its like talking about sharks and showing a crocodile haha
Lots of rats under my low level deck. I made a meal for them with a handful of all wheat flour, cornmeal and some leftover grout. All gone within a week.
Well, I WAS watching this! But a rat eating a box of cereal behind me, noticed what I was watching, and came over a karate kicked my monitor off my desk! Then gave me his two little hand-paw fingers, pointing at his eyes, then mine,.. then his,.. then mine. Then walked away slow,.... then pee'ed I think,... on my shirt..... (I'm scared).
The one giant problem with using poison concoctions on rodents indoors is that they will die in places you can't access to remove their dead putrid smelling bodies. The stench can last for weeks and longer. Better option is to starve the rodents by keeping one's home free of any accessible traces of food including the stove-top and counters. Fresh food items should be kept in upper cabinets or refrigerated. Rodents will soon grow hungry and accept a spring trap to their own demise.
Try Plaster and peanut butter. 1/2 and1/2 each, mix well. The peanut butter will attract. The plaster will make thirsty and when they drink, They’re dead!
As an added bonus, you can then stack and mortar them to make mini battlespace walls for action figures (kidding). My grandmother swore by the plaster & PB combo, you'd find them stiff as carps within a day.
@@susanenright4991 I'm going to go out on a limb and I'm not sure... but, the deal is, they have to eat the plaster dry, so it "sets up," inside them. Plaster sets pretty quickly, like ten fifteen minutes, so.. the bait would be worthless. Peanut butter is all oils, so I'd say don't mix it this stuff with water. I've used peanut butter a lot in cooking, it generates a pretty fair amount of moisture. About like you'd expect from the same amount of margarine even. Ok, I convinced myself!
I learned from my Mom that the fastest way to catch a mouse in a trap is to use a little bit of bacon fat. She would poke a wee bit of bacon fat inside the tube on a mouse trap, and then singe the bacon fat with a flame from a match. It usually isn't long before we would hear the trap snap. The mice come for the bacon scent much sooner than they come for peanut butter or cheese.
Rats can't puke up or burp, so if they bloat, they die. I have heard of a similar trick using baking soda mixed into dry Jiffy cornbread mix, but this sounds like way more fun for the rats as they get a little drunk first and yeast has gotta taste better than baking soda. I can never get the rats to eat more than a tiny bit of the baking soda. I will have to try this.
If rural outdoor cats that occasionally come indoor and no water is the about the closest thing to getting rid of them. If you live near a creek and have ranch animals with feed getting rid of them is not going to happen imo. A rat can fit through a hole the size of a quarter, a mouse will fit through a dime size hole and in between mortar of brickwork.
I have found preloading your traps with either peanut butter, or nutella, or another chocolate based spread incredibly effective - every autumn they come in from the outside world, and every year they find me waiting - some years, I find a few in the traps in spring - but most years I have incredible deadly action during late August to early November.
step 1: get a cat. there is no step 2..if you dont want a cat, ask someone with a cat to save the urine clumps from from their litter box cleaning and spread them around your homes perimeter..the mice just leave once they smell a cat
You want to wipe out an entire rat colony all at once? Try THE TROJAN RAT TRAP! 1rst. Feed just one rat, strict-9 till its belly is full 2nd.soak the rat in peanut oil 3rd. turn it loose! All of the starving rats will cannibalize that one rat filled with poison! 4th. THANK ME LATER!🤓

Why not close the holes, cracks around the house. Moved into a house that had a mice problem because the house was openly vented underneath, easily assessable, all around. I bought rolls of screen and wrapped it around the base, and haven’t had any further problems. Still needing to vacuum the insulation in the attic, would like to vacuum inside the walls, but know I can’t do, and have to forget about it. The last person I guess thought it was fairies, am more realistic.
just apply peppermint essential oil into the walls and on your baseboards and outside the foundation/slab of your house. they will leave NOW and as long as you apply again when needed you will never see them again. they hate it.
@@SyntheticStuntManCan you dilute it with water, and spray? Straight peppermint oil is too expensive and strong. I am afraid cats do not like it, and it may be toxic to them. How much oil to how much water? Maybe diluted is okay….what do you think?
@@SyntheticStuntMani uesd it full strengthed and it didnt wotk. I put cotton balls soaked in Pepoermint essential oil in rat areas and the sucker gathered the cotton balls and put them all in a pile. Later I could tell where it had been when I could smell strong odor of peppermint in areas where i didnt place cotton balls.
@@HRTsAFyre thats strange...works for us. maybe the stuff you got is diluted and not pure uncut oil? mine is straight uncut stuff...makes your eyes water.

She describes it as a mouse deterrent, but it’s an attractant and poison. What she described was a slow painful death from the sounds of it. This attracts mice.
@@jer6162 60% corn muffin 40%baking soda , after years of trying everything I was told what would work to get rid of rats in my Fathers garage that was the only thing that worked ,you may have to refill a few times but it will take care of the problem.
We once came back to our house after vacation and found the kitchen vandalized. We were sure someone broke in but the rest of the house was intact. We saw the two doors that go from the kitchen to the laundry to the patio had massive holes, close to a foot big. We closed the doors to the kitchen and at night I heard some noises, took a look, these massive rats, two of them. They walked by bouncing from side to side. We put all sorts of poisons and nothing, we used the glue and they ran on top of it and ate the thing and nothing. Until someone gave us a poison that makes them dry from the inside, they say it takes a day. It took 3 days, they were found in the living room. I was not able to see it but the maid or someone took them to the trash. We had a door with Moskito meeting, they ate it, and a wooden door, they ate it.
I would rather catch them in traps and dispose of them. Mice are easy to catch but rats will avoid traps that have caught other rats, but I just scrub the traps with bleach water using a tooth brush.
You know you have a bit of a mouse issue when you don't need to put bait in mousetraps and cats just get sick of mice that the mice run all around the cat and cat doesn't even look at the mice anymore and the brown snakes and owls can't eliminate or control the mice and yeah it does stink a bit when they die in the walls etc. But they gotta die somewhere baited or not and they still gonna find ways into old farm houses...😬 🇦🇺🙋♂️🇦🇺
Next spend the next few days, weeks or months trying to figure out wether the putrid dead mouse smell is coming from inside your walls, under the floor, attic, or maybe even your couch.......traps, fast simple, effective and ultimately more hygienic
thank you so much, but if I place it outside will the hedgehog eat from it as well? And will it kill them too? I love and try to take care of hedgehogs.
feral cats also keep the rat population at bay. I tried to catch the little buggers (mom cat and babies) to take them to the shelter but to no avail and then noticed there were no more signs if there ever were of the rats
The problem with predators is they may eat the poisoned rats. I use 1 part baking soda and 1 part peanut butter. It has worked well so far. I know that rats are smart, though, so I will have to use a variety of things to keep them out.
1. The most important difference is that poison remains in the rodent's body and if other predators eat it (snakes, owls, foxes, etc.), they get poisoned. We don't want to poison other animals, especially beneficial predators that eat our mice and rats! 2. Put the bait outside your house. I don't know about mice, but rats don't just stay in your house, they explore outside. Look for their droppings (poop) in places that they hangout out, like a shed, carport, wood pile, etc., and put the bait there.
it is a deterrent, but with most deterrents, if the rat is desperate for food and shelter, and believes that your house is the quickest option for that, they will ignore something that bothers them and go in... remember with their insane level of smell, they still live inside of sewer systems...
I feed my local fox family on raw chicken wings & scraps. I do not try to connect with the foxes via food bribes as their innate wariness around humans is vital for their safety. Having a wild fox around ensures NO rats or mice because the foxes get them all in no time. The caught rats scream such a high pitched loud cry upon being caught that any rat for blocks around just flee, and stay away.
Yes they have an awful squeal but it doesn't scare the other ones away I've caught them in glue traps they were squealing to get away all the while other rats were walking around the squealing didn't bother them
@@mylon5227 Glue traps are the most inhumane and cruel way to trap an animal. Cowardly! There are much better humane ways to rid yourself of unwanted critters.
Someone said to mix baking soda, cornbread mix or cake flour and leave it. The problem is, if that is eaten in your house and the mouse or rat dies in your walls, it is going to smell.
At 0:35, while speaking of rats and mice, the video shows a SQUIRREL. Wubba? As far as I know, through experience, rodents are NOT much attracted to CHEESE. that's such a stereotype that it's now a trope, so, and again, Wubba?
Plaster and instant potatoes then leave 5 gallon buckets with two gallons of water ( remove all obvious water sources) most rats will climb into buckets when they’re dying
Make sure no toddlers can get to the buckets. They climb up and fall in head first and drown. There is a term for it, I think it's called Baby bucket death.
@@mirryayoo7366, I honestly think that if you don't want to personally kill them, either hauling them a short way from your home like across a field very near you; or getting an indoor cat is the best way. I had to put my cat outside because I was very allergic to cats I found out; and she really loves being out there. She doesn't hunt as much as she used to and she isn't very old. But maybe she's just going through something. But if you get a younger cat that is healthy, they will usually take care of the mice for you. What I used to do if I got to them before she killed them, was to take them to a field across from my house.
If you can catch them, bring them to a place at least 10 miles from your home, plus it must be a place that has wild wheat growing or wild fruits, so they won't starve, God will love for this, remember he made all, also you probably thinking why 10 mile to leave them, well it is because they will return to your home if under 10 mile... Hope this helps you.
they're eating my tomatoes as soon as they get ripe, that's reason enough for me to kill them. and they don't eat just one, they take several bites out of every single ripe tomato, ruining all. so the moral is clear: my own hunger takes precedent over the rats'.
I like filling up a 5 gallon bucket half to 3/4 full, a ramp up to it, walkway across top and handfuls of pumpkin or sunflower seeds. Then you can toss them out for birds and other creatures to eat without being poisoned. Works like a charm.
This is horrible cruelty. We had rats in our walls and got rid of them using humane traps and sealing up the entryways into the house. It took a few weeks but it worked. What you are suggesting is disgustingly cruel. And so are most of your followers judging by the comments. Shame on you.
The best remedy is to spread chopped fresh chilli's and/or garlic in the areas where they are prevalent. They can't handle the pungency & dissappear quickly.
Would this mixture kill or at least repel moles as well. I've been trying to be human for 6 months now. I used every single method i could find so far to scare them away - garlic, coffee, castor oil, vinegar, pepper, etc. After 1-2 days they are back. I am now sick and tired, my flower beds are almost destroyed, they dig my vegetables up as well. I don't even want to mention the lawns....
The best and most humane trap is a large glass bowl or metal bin, you add a wood ramp up to the side of the bowl and the fill the bowl with a small pool of peanut oil. The mice fall in and get covered in oil and cant climb out of the side of the bowl.
He did not write "you fill it as high as they drown in it". Just enough to keep them in the bucket. You can set them free far away from settlements (or freeze them), whatever you like.
Buy a very strong pellet gun. Piercing pellets. Plate of peanut butter. Microwave peanut butter until hot. Place plate strategically. Find good spot, I liked the trampoline. ENJOY 😉
Is flour and yeast really enough to kill a rat? Rats eat a native diet of grains and yeast is just about everywhere, so I don't see how this is radically different from their wild diet. I've seen similar recipes but often they call for high salt content. The food attracts the mice, salt overdose kills them. We don't usually think of salt as a poison, but in high concentration it is. Small animals have tiny little bodies, so even harder for them to process large amounts of salt.
A buddy of mine used a 5 gallon bucket half filled with water. A wire from side to side of the bucket with a paper towel roller in the middle of the wire. Covered the roller in peanut butter. Some nights he would get 20 mice. No smell, they drowned.
Yes, we have used very similar traps and they worked very well. We caught over 900 mice one year in a number of traps scattered around outside our house! It was a bad year for them.
I'm out in wheat country, and my cats were catching a minimum of 2 mice each per day. Haven't seen one for a while now, but my catless neighbour's house across the road, has very recently been infested big time. So I think you're quite right there.
I have an outdoor cat and other cats are here, they are no help whatsoever. My cat used to catch mice but now she’s literally quit and I have the worst mouse issue ever even though I’m very clean about food and the kitchen. Now a rat has even gotten in 😢
Get yourself four or five cats, and keep them hungry. Your mouse and vole problems will go away outdoors. On the indoor issues, I just use the baits.. but baits don't really work for rats. I have used a live trap to catch rats around the exterior of my home. I have a large one, it's big enough for like raccoons or fox, and a smaller one for animals the size of rats or squirrels. Both work great for rats, I usually bait the traps with peanut butter.
"Keep them hungry"? You don't have to starve cats to keep mice away. Cats are natural predator's -they enjoy the hunt. Besides, just the scent of cats will usually keep the mice away.
@@davidrhoads3023 Don't worry, the poison will kill the cats too! Cats are much better at catching other types of animals than they are mice and rats, until the owner gets desperate and uses poison, and the mice and rats get sick and slow, and then you have a poisoned cat, and any other animals that eat mice and rats. Cats do fuck all to solve a rodent problem.
@@MissSicBitch .. Yes, but a hungry cat is far more likely to rid the yard of mice.. And, I didn't say starve the cats. I've seen many cats that were so fat, they hardly move.
@@davidrhoads3023 .. Yes, cats will kill birds if given the chance, but if you have a mouse or vole issue.. you may just tolerate the killing of a few birds.
Can't get the hubby to realize that his stock pile of fire wood against the house is a haven for mice. They will use it in the warmer weather and then come in out of the cold. Now we are invaded by them in the house. And he has left it to me to get rid of them. HE WILL BE WITH THEM WHEN I GET THE TRAPS OUT. AND THAT FIRE WOOD WELL IT'S BEEN NICE BUT ONLY FOR HEATING UP THE HOUSE, IT'S GOT TO GO AS WELL.
It doesn’t usually smell if mice die in the walls. If you do get a small odor, it’ll completely decompose in 2-3 days and no more smell or mouse problems
About 20 years ago, I was on a night out in Manchester, before getting my train from Manchester Victoria, I decided to get some late night food. There were the usual late night food emporiums there, but I needed a pee. Going behind the shops there is a dark courtyard. I have never seen so many rats at once, the ground was swarming with them, if you have any doubt it is humans who allow them to thrive this is the evidence! HOABL

That's pretty scary that's the ingredients of pizza bases everywhere and humans have been consuming it for years. No wonder eating cheesy bread products makes us bloated.
Actually, when we eat pizza, the yeast has done it's work and is dead, so it doesn't make us bloated. This rat/mouse bait has raw yeast, so it doesn't puff up until it's in their stomachs.
I know someone who had a mouse problem in their home. Someone left a door open for a while and some mice came in to the house. I did not know about this method mentioned in this video. I bought a bucket trap that uses a trap door system which dumps the rodents in to the bucket. I put the food on the trap door. When the rodents go for the food their body weight opens the trap door and they get dumped in to the bucket. When I have some rodents in the bucket I would take them over to wildlife park and let them go. I did not want to kill them.

Same here 🥲🥲🥲
Same
I keep all of my pantry food in my refrigerator. My fridge is packed. I put all of my dog food and cereal in the oven.
Same here.😔
I learned from my Mom that the fastest way to catch a mouse in a trap is to use a little bit of bacon fat. She would poke a wee bit of bacon fat inside the tube on a mouse trap, and then singe the bacon fat with a flame from a match. It usually isn't long before we would hear the trap snap. The mice come for the bacon scent much sooner than they come for peanut butter or cheese.
thanks for the tip, I will give Bacon grease a chance. I've had no luck with peanut butter, peanut butter worked in the past but not anymore

I have been using peanut butter and oatmeal. They go for it like crazy!
@@jerryfacts9749those are 2 ingredients that won’t kill them. What’s the missing is the killing agent.?
@@janetpattison8474they’re talking about bait for traps. Doesn’t need poison.
One quick tip, if you have a dog or a cat inside the house, you can use a small piece of PVC pipe to put the mixture in where the rats can get to it but the dog or cat cannot.
Thanks because that's exactly the situation I'm in.
A Chihuahua can fit in a small purse. Be careful!!!
Indeed look up squirrel IPM and a t shaped pvc pipe plans can be downloaded from the local county ag extension office. Just construct a much smaller version of the tube feed station. Keep in mind the tube has to be a t shape so the rats don't have to climb into the feed access ends. Squirrel feed stations are w shaped to prevent outdoor life from eating treated toxic grains. I don't know if rats will exit the tube by backing up.
So perhaps pipe diameter possibly has to be large enough for the rat to turn around to exit the tube.
You can also use a rectangle plastic container with a round hole at one end so only the mice rats can get in. I put the bait at the other end. They go in and out the die! Just saying
My worry is trapping the neighborhood squirrels instead of the rats.
1 Tbsp black pepper, 2 colves of crushed garlic, ½ tsp cloves and ¼ tsp peppermint oil.
Place the ingredients in a saucepan filled with 1½ cups of water. Boil for three to five minutes, let cool.
Strain the mixture and place into a spray bottle.
Spray on areas where rodents are a problem. They will be repelled by the smell.
Doesn't work on Mothers in Law.
THANK YOU!! Will try
@@theresamealer3314did it work?
But if a mouse came in window.
How's he gonna go back out . Only by smelling
Does it work on Father in Law?
>Doesn't work on Mothers in Law.
Can confirm. It just makes them angry. Do not try.
It talks about being a repellent, but then attracts the mouse to something that kills them. I’m not necessarily against this solution, but I think more accurate wording makes sense. It’s similar to poisoning the mice, but wouldn’t necessarily pass on bad effects to any animal/bird that consumes them, which is an improvement.
The title says nothing about being a repellent.

Amen. So, tomorrow, in the morning i will go, and buy two better traps than i had them untill now, when the mices just ate the bait, and went away, remained uncaught.
Ten mice died behind a wall in the kitchen and the place smelled like death for 2 years . Dead animals in the walls are the worse thing when trying to sell or rent a property . 🐀
If you can find a point of entry steel wool makes it impossible for them to gain entry.
There is a product called Ratsorb. You soak a cotton ball can place it near the dead smell and it will absorb the smell
Sounds awful. But exponentially worse if they were alive to reproduce!
@@rachelheyth3645 you still need to trap the ones inside
Well the best advice I could give you is do not sell or rent if you are planning to have dead meat in the walls!
Wait until dry season!
Rodents, rats especially, are intelligent animals and they catch on to most forms of impending death quickly.
But what about the rodents dying in the walls of your house and causing a very bad smell for a long time?
Put a clothes pin on your nose, I had to watch another video for that information
It only lasts for about 3 days, I ran an experiment under my sister's mattress.
they usually just dry out, the stink usually is worse with rats killed by poisons that cause them to bleed out internally.
@@jeffreystroman2811 ROFLOL...hahahahaha! hilarious comment :D
That's going to happen with anything other than trapping and removing them though isn't it! 🤪
It's only this year we are beginning to see mice in the garden. I think it is because our neighbours who had cats have moved away. I spoke to a pest controller and told him I thought all the urban foxes we see around every night would keep them down. He told me that foxes have lost the ability or need to hunt whist people walk along to TESCO's at the end of the day and buy them discounted barbequed chickens!
Woww😣 Not good. I've got a small dog who loves to kill them👍👍👍
I had a cat who actually brought mice in. Found loads of mummified mice when I moved out.
Rats and mice LOVE peanut butter!!!
I recommend using peanut butter mixed 50 /50 with DRY Plaster of Paris.
You can use newspaper to give it some heft if you need to toss the poison in where the rats or mice hide ( like crawlspaces for example )
Put a big wad of the mixture in the middle of the sheet of newspaper, fold it up and chuck it where it needs to go.
They will not get very far and will die very quickly.
Yup, I've had some good luck using peanut butter mixed with crushed poison bait bars. Next time I will try your method.
i think the moisture in the peanut butter will activate the plaster and render it ineffective. but i could be wrong.
@@lil_old_man202 I got the recipe from watching one of the men hired by the city of The District of Columbia; it was like one of those 'mini' documentaries where they follow person X around and film what they do - in this case, killing rats.
So I got it 'from the horse's mouth' , so to speak.
Wheat flour and plaster 50/50 works well and cheap
Ur pfp lmfao
The mixture is only good for the first 15-30 minutes. After that it becomes great food for the mice. Slightest moisture activates the yeast and turns into dough which doesn’t kill the rodents.
Thank you! I was going to try this mixture until I read your comment. I just found a mother rat and a baby rat outside in our backyard in a storage container with a rats nest lining the bottom!! Any suggestions that work would be appreciated.
bicarb of soda instead of yeast and put mixture in a small food container with a lid with one end having a rat sized hole.
or use a rectangular margarine container to keep mixture dry

Thanks...... I'm not trying to make em a loaf of bread ........😅 Close one
From my experience the single most effective way of stopping mice in your roof space is to use expanding foam on your outdoor air conditioning cable conduits. Cable conduits on the outside of your house from floor to roof space are like highways for rodents. After I did that no more mice in my roof and I can sleep at night. If you have rodents in your roof you need to inspect your outside walls and find the point of entry. I used to poison but now I have a mechanical trap I purchased with hinged doors that swing only one way which can catch ten to twenty mice at a time. Just the smell of other mice attracts them, no bait required.
That only works until they gnaw thru the foam. Best way to fill cavities is with steel wool. You've got to ram the steel wool with some sort of steel spike..I use an old screwdriver or similar. The steel wool must be really compacted so use the spike and hammer to tap wool to compact so they can't unravel the wool. That's it job done🇦🇺🙋♂️🇦🇺
@@neville4451 interesting, will keep in mind. There is no way they can chew thru the foam. I filled almost half the conduit with expanding foam on the inside, used a whole large spray can or two. The conduit is about 4 metres high to the ceiling (it is a large cable conduit, not small, 3x large air cons) and they would have to chew thru about 2 metres of foam. They have not even chewed the foam that came out the end on the outside. Expanding foam is cheap. You do not just seal off the end. You fill the inside and it expands everywhere inside.
It is true that mice chew and could technically chew thru foam with ease. I find them strangely selective. Some things they chew alot, cardboard boxes, rubber matts, but other things they choose not to. I got lucky with the foam. They do not seem to like it. I tend to store things in heavy duty plastic bins in the sheds as they chew on just about everything else. So I understand your recommendation.
They will chew through foam. That is why products like Great Stuff have a foam for rodents. Something is put in the foam that tastes terrible to them so they won't chew it.
@towerofnaphtali4066 Yep I can get that. I'm mostly talking about small cavities..rodent size cavities. Yeah those plastic tubs are gold for storage. We have one of the deadliest snakes in the world down here, the brown snake. It's said here that mice only need a hole about the size of your pinky finger to traverse. And brown snakes can do likewise to hunt the mice. Last place I lived in was hundred year old stone house. Baby browns are born venomous as the adults hence plugging all holes externally and internally. Can't count the amount of times they'd come inside thru the open doggy door in summer for cool drink from the dogs water. I live on an agricultural peninsula so mice are pretty well fed here....just saying mate😎

@@yixnorb5971 hmmm hafta check that product out. Cheers for that mate🇦🇺🙋♂️🇦🇺
I was wildly successful getting rid of a mouse infestation using baking soda/instant potatoes/cocoa and butter. The mice did not die in the walls. They must have been so thirsty, they went outside looking for water. (my theory). I never smelled a dead mouse. (never found a carcass though). I had dishes of poisoned bait located around the house , with my security cameras pointed at the bait - I saw mice feasting on the bait. One day they were just gone.
Maybe you're too honest..it would've been a better story if you'd embellished, and claimed you saw dozens of rodents including the baby rodents, laying dead in the basement, or out in the yard. But honesty has a price, though commendable. I think they grew thirsty cuz when I lay out green rat poison, I find them drowned in the toilet. They were thirsty and couldn't get out. There I'm not lying
Yes, baking soda does work great.
Thanks for this.
@@chrisr326 Ahh, youve given ne another piece of the puzzle. If i try Hemond1 ‘s method, above, i can provide really good water source just outside, luring them there once they’ve had the bait. (You can always get out if my place, there’s openings). Thanks mate
@@susanmcdonald-timms3202
Honey Jiffy cornbread mix with baking soda does wonders. I saw this idea here on UA-cam and thought I'd try it, it worked like a charm. Also we used the electric rat trap we found on Amazon. We used peanut butter as bait, and let it sit. The light will blink red when the trap is empty, and green when there is a mouse inside. Just dump it out and continue to march. Also the sticky traps work wonders also. Just place them along the baseboards or around food sources. It sounds morbid, but it was sorta fun catching them.

Omg I'm dying!! 😅😂
The one giant problem with using poison concoctions on rodents indoors is that they will die in places you can't access to remove their dead putrid smelling bodies. The stench can last for weeks and longer. Better option is to starve the rodents by keeping one's home free of any accessible traces of food including the stove-top and counters. Fresh food items should be kept in upper cabinets or refrigerated. Rodents will soon grow hungry and accept a spring trap to their own demise.
That’s actually really intelligent. If i make every place foodless, they’re left with one alternative- the traps.
Twin Home Experts will show you how
@@safffff1000 ok thank you. I’ll check them out
Zip baggies rule! They don't like mint or moth balls either.
@@cherylm2C6671 I had rats chew thru 5 gal plastic buckets which I put food into
Actually mice and rats do not like cheese, they LOVE peanut butter.
They love chocolate spread as well 😊
They like cheese if it stinks
Yes. Peanuts and peanut oil are irresistible dope for rodents.
They also like real butter. That is what I set my traps with, works every time!
We had one that turned it's nose up at peanut butter but when we put a bit of grated coconut on a trap lever, SNAP, caught it the first night.
Try Plaster and peanut butter. 1/2 and1/2 each, mix well. The peanut butter will attract. The plaster will make thirsty and when they drink, They’re dead!
Maybe cement mixed with sugar?
As an added bonus, you can then stack and mortar them to make mini battlespace walls for action figures (kidding). My grandmother swore by the plaster & PB combo, you'd find them stiff as carps within a day.
Are they mixing a little water with this mix? It seems as so , as the Bait it liquidity ? Thanks for any help, Susan
Wont the peanut butter set off the plaster , and the left with a hard lump
@@susanenright4991 I'm going to go out on a limb and I'm not sure... but, the deal is, they have to eat the plaster dry, so it "sets up," inside them. Plaster sets pretty quickly, like ten fifteen minutes, so.. the bait would be worthless. Peanut butter is all oils, so I'd say don't mix it this stuff with water. I've used peanut butter a lot in cooking, it generates a pretty fair amount of moisture. About like you'd expect from the same amount of margarine even. Ok, I convinced myself!
I learned from my Mom that the fastest way to catch a mouse in a trap is to use a little bit of bacon fat. She would poke a wee bit of bacon fat inside the tube on a mouse trap, and then singe the bacon fat with a flame from a match. It usually isn't long before we would hear the trap snap. The mice come for the bacon scent much sooner than they come for peanut butter or cheese.
Rats can't puke up or burp, so if they bloat, they die. I have heard of a similar trick using baking soda mixed into dry Jiffy cornbread mix, but this sounds like way more fun for the rats as they get a little drunk first and yeast has gotta taste better than baking soda. I can never get the rats to eat more than a tiny bit of the baking soda. I will have to try this.
Once they hve it tho they know they will die we did this and after the first time they no longer eat them
@@amani5614mix again and add peanut butter.
Ib profen ground up mix with bait
that's why you add sugar to the baking soda/flour mix, so there is no bitter taste. (personally, i'd rather eat baking soda than yeast.)

If rural outdoor cats that occasionally come indoor and no water is the about the closest thing to getting rid of them. If you live near a creek and have ranch animals with feed getting rid of them is not going to happen imo. A rat can fit through a hole the size of a quarter, a mouse will fit through a dime size hole and in between mortar of brickwork.
1/4 in wire screen, then spray it with foam just to keep the visual and smell temptation down.
A rat fits through a quarter size hole, a mouse will fit through a dime size hole and a cat waits for you to open the door.
Dry oats and paraplaster. That way your cat or dog will most likly on eat it... just be aware if you have farm animals such as goats, horses...
I have found preloading your traps with either peanut butter, or nutella, or another chocolate based spread incredibly effective - every autumn they come in from the outside world, and every year they find me waiting - some years, I find a few in the traps in spring - but most years I have incredible deadly action during late August to early November.
Peanut butter, it never fails
step 1: get a cat. there is no step 2..if you dont want a cat, ask someone with a cat to save the urine clumps from from their litter box cleaning and spread them around your homes perimeter..the mice just leave once they smell a cat
You want to wipe out an entire rat colony all at once? Try THE TROJAN RAT TRAP!

A rat dying in your walls from any poisoning, natural or otherwise, is not a smell you want to deal with.
Yes , its bad . The same smell a democrat has .
We once came back to our house after vacation and found the kitchen vandalized. We were sure someone broke in but the rest of the house was intact. We saw the two doors that go from the kitchen to the laundry to the patio had massive holes, close to a foot big. We closed the doors to the kitchen and at night I heard some noises, took a look, these massive rats, two of them. They walked by bouncing from side to side. We put all sorts of poisons and nothing, we used the glue and they ran on top of it and ate the thing and nothing. Until someone gave us a poison that makes them dry from the inside, they say it takes a day. It took 3 days, they were found in the living room. I was not able to see it but the maid or someone took them to the trash. We had a door with Moskito meeting, they ate it, and a wooden door, they ate it.

Do you mix it and use it DRY?
You know you have a bit of a mouse issue when you don't need to put bait in mousetraps and cats just get sick of mice that the mice run all around the cat and cat doesn't even look at the mice anymore and the brown snakes and owls can't eliminate or control the mice and yeah it does stink a bit when they die in the walls etc. But they gotta die somewhere baited or not and they still gonna find ways into old farm houses...😬
🇦🇺🙋♂️🇦🇺
You are right
You need more snakes 😁
Next spend the next few days, weeks or months trying to figure out wether the putrid dead mouse smell is coming from inside your walls, under the floor, attic, or maybe even your couch.......traps, fast simple, effective and ultimately more hygienic
thank you so much, but if I place it outside will the hedgehog eat from it as well? And will it kill them too? I love and try to take care of hedgehogs.
It’s weird how humans are kind to some animals and cruel to others. Double standards.
60 seconds, huh. I tried this "remedy" and yet, here we are, three weeks later, more mice....
feral cats also keep the rat population at bay. I tried to catch the little buggers (mom cat and babies) to take them to the shelter but to no avail and then noticed there were no more signs if there ever were of the rats
Yeah, but now they carry fleas and other diseases and feral cats they’re finding and also kill tons of wild birds
Please call your local cat rescue group, they are usually experts at trapping...
The problem with predators is they may eat the poisoned rats. I use 1 part baking soda and 1 part peanut butter. It has worked well so far. I know that rats are smart, though, so I will have to use a variety of things to keep them out.
0:33 I’m not positive but isn’t that a squirrel. Let me know if I’m wrong.
Yes, that is Definitely a squirrel.
Many people especially urban populations consider squirrels nothing more than a fluffy tailed tree rat
So add water? Keep it dry? That didn’t like grated cheese!
How is "eventually, they will suffocate," NOT poison? Maybe not poison to me or my kid, but that's toxicology defined!
What’s the difference between using this and using rat poison? Both ways the rat suffocates and dies in your walls and other random places.
1. The most important difference is that poison remains in the rodent's body and if other predators eat it (snakes, owls, foxes, etc.), they get poisoned. We don't want to poison other animals, especially beneficial predators that eat our mice and rats!
2. Put the bait outside your house. I don't know about mice, but rats don't just stay in your house, they explore outside. Look for their droppings (poop) in places that they hangout out, like a shed, carport, wood pile, etc., and put the bait there.
How long takes after eating? I did two days ago but, they so playing much
Peppermint plants are what my Grandparents planted around their house and NEVER had mice or rats.
it is a deterrent, but with most deterrents, if the rat is desperate for food and shelter, and believes that your house is the quickest option for that, they will ignore something that bothers them and go in...
remember with their insane level of smell, they still live inside of sewer systems...
In another video they said that rats dont like peppermint oil but they even eat peppermint as whole plant.
I feed my local fox family on raw chicken wings & scraps. I do not try to connect with the foxes via food bribes as their innate wariness around humans is vital for their safety. Having a wild fox around ensures NO rats or mice because the foxes get them all in no time. The caught rats scream such a high pitched loud cry upon being caught that any rat for blocks around just flee, and stay away.
Wow. Didn’t know foxes ate rats, do you have video of fox catching rat
Yes they have an awful squeal but it doesn't scare the other ones away I've caught them in glue traps they were squealing to get away all the while other rats were walking around the squealing didn't bother them
@@mylon5227 Glue traps are the most inhumane and cruel way to trap an animal. Cowardly! There are much better humane ways to rid yourself of unwanted critters.
Someone said to mix baking soda, cornbread mix or cake flour and leave it. The problem is, if that is eaten in your house and the mouse or rat dies in your walls, it is going to smell.
That's not a repellent. This will have the rodents dying and stinking up the place. A repellent would make them GO AWAY and not come back.
Is it safe on household pets if they accidentally get into it?
In S.E. Texas we let snakes take care of the problem. I have to be careful as I'm not well-versed as to which snakes are venemous!

Sure - just bring in a few rattle snakes - then you want be there in a few days to worry about the rats, or the electric bill
@kelly-green "Nothing left for man to kill?"
At 0:35, while speaking of rats and mice, the video shows a SQUIRREL. Wubba?
As far as I know, through experience, rodents are NOT much attracted to CHEESE. that's such a stereotype that it's now a trope, so, and again, Wubba?
Plaster and instant potatoes then leave 5 gallon buckets with two gallons of water ( remove all obvious water sources) most rats will climb into buckets when they’re dying
Make sure no toddlers can get to the buckets. They climb up and fall in head first and drown. There is a term for it, I think it's called Baby bucket death.
It’s such a moral concern when you don’t want to kill them and have tried everything to make them leave and nothing works 😢
My situation now😢 I've tried literally everything😢 but still nothing happened
@@mirryayoo7366, I honestly think that if you don't want to personally kill them, either hauling them a short way from your home like across a field very near you; or getting an indoor cat is the best way. I had to put my cat outside because I was very allergic to cats I found out; and she really loves being out there. She doesn't hunt as much as she used to and she isn't very old. But maybe she's just going through something. But if you get a younger cat that is healthy, they will usually take care of the mice for you. What I used to do if I got to them before she killed them, was to take them to a field across from my house.
If you can catch them, bring them to a place at least 10 miles from your home, plus it must be a place that has wild wheat growing or wild fruits, so they won't starve, God will love for this, remember he made all, also you probably thinking why 10 mile to leave them, well it is because they will return to your home if under 10 mile...
Hope this helps you.
they're eating my tomatoes as soon as they get ripe, that's reason enough for me to kill them. and they don't eat just one, they take several bites out of every single ripe tomato, ruining all. so the moral is clear: my own hunger takes precedent over the rats'.
Lmao, there's nothing morally wrong with killing an animal. Wtf did I even read.
I like filling up a 5 gallon bucket half to 3/4 full, a ramp up to it, walkway across top and handfuls of pumpkin or sunflower seeds. Then you can toss them out for birds and other creatures to eat without being poisoned. Works like a charm.
We've tried that method. The rate are too smart and get to the bait and never fall into the bucket. Tricky little suckers.
Filling up with what, please?
@@walkyria1water.
This is horrible cruelty. We had rats in our walls and got rid of them using humane traps and sealing up the entryways into the house. It took a few weeks but it worked. What you are suggesting is disgustingly cruel. And so are most of your followers judging by the comments. Shame on you.
What's the difference between droppings and feces?
Vocabulary…
@@salauerman7082 they must get paid by the word...
The best remedy is to spread chopped fresh chilli's and/or garlic in the areas where they are prevalent. They can't handle the pungency & dissappear quickly.
that'll also keep out the vampires, so it's a win win.
@@lil_old_man202 😆 🤣
They Live In Serwer's .
This mixture is also fatal for pets. Our friend's dog ate yeast dough that was thrown out - and died!
Exactly!
Would this mixture kill or at least repel moles as well. I've been trying to be human for 6 months now. I used every single method i could find so far to scare them away - garlic, coffee, castor oil, vinegar, pepper, etc. After 1-2 days they are back. I am now sick and tired, my flower beds are almost destroyed, they dig my vegetables up as well. I don't even want to mention the lawns....
Can I do without the yeast?
Will this mixture cause harm to other animals like, foxes, cats, dogs or birds?
For sure will cause harm.
Is this mixture harmful to cats and dogs though?
Yes
Will this work in Washington DC to rid all the rats?
😂😂😂
Sorry darlin' don't want to REPEL rodents I want D. e. a. d. rodents and at lightening speed.
Not into the idea of killing due to corpse decay and more diseases. Any other ideas?
The best and most humane trap is a large glass bowl or metal bin, you add a wood ramp up to the side of the bowl and the fill the bowl with a small pool of peanut oil. The mice fall in and get covered in oil and cant climb out of the side of the bowl.
That's NOT humane, zippy.
sorry typo in the original post, meant to say inhumane .... @@badeugenecops4741
Then you have an open container of bloated and decaying mouse carcasses to dispose of. Joy.
He did not write "you fill it as high as they drown in it". Just enough to keep them in the bucket.
You can set them free far away from settlements (or freeze them), whatever you like.
@@badeugenecops4741rats are not HUMANS, cultivate yourselve
Buy a very strong pellet gun.
Piercing pellets.
Plate of peanut butter.
Microwave peanut butter until hot.
Place plate strategically.
Find good spot, I liked the trampoline.
ENJOY 😉
My dachshund takes care of them.
Is flour and yeast really enough to kill a rat? Rats eat a native diet of grains and yeast is just about everywhere, so I don't see how this is radically different from their wild diet.
I've seen similar recipes but often they call for high salt content. The food attracts the mice, salt overdose kills them. We don't usually think of salt as a poison, but in high concentration it is. Small animals have tiny little bodies, so even harder for them to process large amounts of salt.
Rats n mice cant fart
A buddy of mine used a 5 gallon bucket half filled with water. A wire from side to side of the bucket with a paper towel roller in the middle of the wire. Covered the roller in peanut butter. Some nights he would get 20 mice.
No smell, they drowned.
P.S. rats are harder to drown, and you need a larger container.
Never worked
Yes, we have used very similar traps and they worked very well. We caught over 900 mice one year in a number of traps scattered around outside our house! It was a bad year for them.
Also love the random picture of a squirrel eating while talking about rats and mice
This might work; but, idn like having to put up with a dead rat/mice smell in the walls or where I can't get to them inside the house.
The smell of the decomposing rats could also be a problem.
Are rodents affected by air cleaners with ozone?
A bunch of cats works well, plus they're good company. The mice and rats just move away looking for a cat-free environment to inhabit :)
And then the cat catches one and brings it in the house to give to you - still alive!
@@timhowell1220 yes, lol. Monsters.
I'm out in wheat country, and my cats were catching a minimum of 2 mice each per day. Haven't seen one for a while now, but my catless neighbour's house across the road, has very recently been infested big time. So I think you're quite right there.
@@TAVOAu haaa. Cats rule
I have an outdoor cat and other cats are here, they are no help whatsoever. My cat used to catch mice but now she’s literally quit and I have the worst mouse issue ever even though I’m very clean about food and the kitchen. Now a rat has even gotten in 😢
Mice aren’t attracted to cheese, it’s a myth.
Get yourself four or five cats, and keep them hungry. Your mouse and vole problems will go away outdoors. On the indoor issues, I just use the baits.. but baits don't really work for rats. I have used a live trap to catch rats around the exterior of my home. I have a large one, it's big enough for like raccoons or fox, and a smaller one for animals the size of rats or squirrels. Both work great for rats, I usually bait the traps with peanut butter.
You'll also solve all your wild bird problems, and problems from any other desirable wildlife.
"Keep them hungry"? You don't have to starve cats to keep mice away. Cats are natural predator's -they enjoy the hunt. Besides, just the scent of cats will usually keep the mice away.
@@davidrhoads3023 Don't worry, the poison will kill the cats too!
Cats are much better at catching other types of animals than they are mice and rats, until the owner gets desperate and uses poison, and the mice and rats get sick and slow, and then you have a poisoned cat, and any other animals that eat mice and rats. Cats do fuck all to solve a rodent problem.
@@MissSicBitch .. Yes, but a hungry cat is far more likely to rid the yard of mice.. And, I didn't say starve the cats. I've seen many cats that were so fat, they hardly move.
@@davidrhoads3023 .. Yes, cats will kill birds if given the chance, but if you have a mouse or vole issue.. you may just tolerate the killing of a few birds.
Can't get the hubby to realize that his stock pile of fire wood against the house is a haven for mice. They will use it in the warmer weather and then come in out of the cold. Now we are invaded by them in the house. And he has left it to me to get rid of them. HE WILL BE WITH THEM WHEN I GET THE TRAPS OUT. AND THAT FIRE WOOD WELL IT'S BEEN NICE BUT ONLY FOR HEATING UP THE HOUSE, IT'S GOT TO GO AS WELL.
It doesn’t usually smell if mice die in the walls. If you do get a small odor, it’ll completely decompose in 2-3 days and no more smell or mouse problems
Is the grated cheese part the actual bait? Why not use powdered peanut butter instead?
About 20 years ago, I was on a night out in Manchester, before getting my train from Manchester Victoria, I decided to get some late night food.
There were the usual late night food emporiums there, but I needed a pee. Going behind the shops there is a dark courtyard. I have never seen so many rats at once, the ground was swarming with them, if you have any doubt it is humans who allow them to thrive this is the evidence!
HOABL
Brits!🙄
Do you add some water to the mix?, as it looks like a paste in the video at 1.20
The 5-gallon bucket trick works the best
Thanks for the tip. But in my case i have no problems with mice and rats. Squirrels, raccoons and skunks are my biggest issue. Especially black squirrels - rats with bushy tails. Would that mix attract 'nd work on them, i wonder?
Me watching this after waking up on a cold rainy windy farmhouse to a rat staring at me after biting my lip. Yes I am standing naked in the corner with the lights on freaking out
Who bit your lip? If the rat did, did you provide consent? If you bit your lip, maybe try not biting your lip next time.
I hope you're OK.
@@danielcurda3633 the rat had bit my lip and didn’t realise till I looked in the mirror, two rat teeth gashes
@@DrKniz ok so it got worse, woke up getting swamped, my hands and finger tips, arms and body getting nawed. In intense pain, apparently it’s rat fever or whatever. Lost my shit, shook them all out of my clothes, my torch was dying. Managed to fight them off til daylight and get my phone charged and call for help. Pros of working on a country house being built. Never be isolated in rugged country, lesson learned
Planting a perimeter of peppermint helps to keep them out of your home/garage or barn. Mice do not like peppermint. No clue if it works on rats.
Do you add water to the mix?
This is not a repellant. It is a poison and, possibly, would be ingested by other animals if left around the yard.
Rodents don't have the ability to fart or burp ! That's what kills them !!!
I have just discovered that I have a big rat that has been living with me for months. I have put multiple big rat traps, and the rat isn't touching them and continues to return .. I've discovered that the rat has multiple entries into my property, which are now blocked .. This particular right is obsessed and doesn't want to leave ... What can I do ?
How can we hear it when the music behind is to loud
This idea is illegal in many places.
Many other critters can eat your mixture and die, not just the pests.
Why was there a clip of a squirrel ?
That's pretty scary that's the ingredients of pizza bases everywhere and humans have been consuming it for years. No wonder eating cheesy bread products makes us bloated.
Actually, when we eat pizza, the yeast has done it's work and is dead, so it doesn't make us bloated. This rat/mouse bait has raw yeast, so it doesn't puff up until it's in their stomachs.
I know someone who had a mouse problem in their home. Someone left a door open for a while and some mice came in to the house. I did not know about this method mentioned in this video. I bought a bucket trap that uses a trap door system which dumps the rodents in to the bucket. I put the food on the trap door. When the rodents go for the food their body weight opens the trap door and they get dumped in to the bucket. When I have some rodents in the bucket I would take them over to wildlife park and let them go. I did not want to kill them.
I had seen that too, isn't it coming with a small access platform, what they call that trap and how much?
Thank you.
So this way you can let somebody else have the problem. Very generous of you.
@@h.r.gerrard2960
The wildlife park is some miles from residential areas. There are thousands of field mice in these parks.
According to statistics, every North American city has more mice and rats than people!
I wonder if pancake mix would work, since it already has yeast in it?

Can't you make the introduction any longer? I didn't quite die from boredom waiting for the recipe. Please try again.
I fast forwarded.

Peanut butter will attract mice better than cheese.
What do I do about mice in the ceiling above me where I have no idea how they are getting in??
