@@oakeymt.outdoorsHow much baking soda does it need on a butter knive covered with peanut butter? Like just the outside covered in baking soda will work?
I use powdered peanut butter mix, with pancake mix and baking soda. Generates all kinds of foot(prints) traffic, and feces trails, all rodents. Then it gets quiet. And you realize you finally have your house back all to yourself.
In the U.S, rat/mouse poisons are not created equal. The poisons that are sold in stores to the public are weak and ineffective. The poisons that the pro pest control people are able to get are the strong effective ones. People here are having to resort to baking soda or plaster of Paris concoctions as well.
I watched many many videos on this and the comments all had mixed responses...does work, does not work...rats too big to die etc etc. This is the first video that actually shows proof. Thank you so much for taking the trouble to make this video. Subscribing.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your results! Here in BC Canada, rat poison has just been outlawed to protect rat predators like owls etc. I had 3 bait boxes, which I just filled with 50/50 baking soda/cornbread mixture. After watching your video, I am comfortable I am on the right track. Cheers!
I was just introduced to this concept a couple videos back. I think the rats need to be hungry, which is normal (most of the time) as they eat really weird things, like the heads off of my drums in storage, so if they are really hungry I suspect this will work. I know some people will find this cruel, but I have had immense amounts of property destroyed by the bastards. On top of that I am tired of people using cumiden/d-Con which then kills the endangered owls when they eat the poisoned rats. If you think that poisoned rodents aren't decimating the owl population you need to do your research. THANK YOU. Subscribed.
This works!! Just like birds mice and rats can not burp or pass gas. The sodium bicarbonate in baking soda causes gases to build up inside the animal and being that it can't burp or fart to release these gases it essentially explodes on the inside from the pressure.
No thats just not reality.. It dosnt kill them at all.. Neither does plaster of paris.. Plaster can kill them if they eat only plaster but when you mix it with flour and they only nibble a little it dosnt set in their gut and kill them.. In a wild situation they just dont eat enough.. Im sure baking soda COULD kill a rat if it ate a heap of it but they would have to basocally subsist on baking soda till they starved to death. Poison and traps kill rats. ..
@@LowSpecLinuxLaptop I've experienced similar. I was thinking about going to baking soda and peanut butter, but they've been ignoring my plain peanut butter. West coast rodents probably expect some kale chips and smoked tofu :-).
Thank you for doing this experiment on 1 rat. I was always curious if this was just a myth . What puzzles me though is : Downtown NY subways , and major cities in Italy are smeared with rats , why the Soda isn't used to fight this problem ?
The sewer rats could be eradicated, but then a useful vector for biological warfare parasites and pathogens would be eliminated, so the "powers that shouldn't be" leave them.
@@catherineyoung6660 actually, now that I think of it that expert named Sean made a plaster poison video, but he made the poison wrong by wetting it and molding it into balls! The whole point is it has to be dry powder when the rodents eat it.
We had a big infestation of rats. The baking soda and cornmeal mix left out really worked!!! We haven't even seen one rat but found dead ones all over the yard
Thanks very much for this experiment. I have rats in my attic and tried a mix of plaster of Paris with chocolate protein powder. The only trouble is, plaster of Paris sets on exposure to the moisture in the air. So I'm going to try a mix of chocolate protein powder with equal measure of baking soda.
Nice Video. How did you get the water in the cage? Was that bottle cap, able to fit through the cage holes? Or did you have to open the cage and put the water in? Because I know rats can squeeze through an opening the size of a quarter.
Thank You, it made perfect sense to me but UA-cam was going back and forth with it. I’m going to switch to peanut butter because they’re not going for the cornbread mix with syrup
@Oakey Mt. Outdoors try adding bay leaves to the mix, rats love bay leaf you just need a little bit. It's the smell that attract them. And beyond leaf is very strong that's how I get them to eat from traps Most important is to collect dead one as soon so other rats can't see them dead in the trap, plus be sure to clean the trap of all smells or other rats won't go near them. Rats are very smart
Can anyone tell me if an older box of baking soda will still work or do I need a fresh one that bubbles in water? Older baking soda doesnt bubble. Probably won't work? Thanks for the advice.
Going to do this ASAP. Rats have been eating my tomatoes like never before. Had fairly good success using regular spring-loaded rat traps but not always. BTW - How can you tell if it's rats eating your tomatoes vs chipmunks or squirrels? Look at the area beneath where the tomato was eaten. If there are confetti-like tomato skin on the ground then it's rats. Chipmunks and squirrels eat all of the tomatoes - including the skin.
Baking Soda is the Gun I mix Flour, Sugar & any little table scraps like Bacon cut up into tiny pieces, Dried out shrimp tails or slice up a few strawberries mix them up in my famous receipt coated well & use a tiny paint brush to coat outside entrance with honey or Bacon grease of a few used cottage cheese plastic containers cut a big enough hole in the side. "Come On In!" The Rats hit it heavy, stops them from hitting my garden an it is thinning out the herd night by night.
Hi. Probably not, since the baking soda has already reacted in the dead rat's stomach that caused its bloating and death. My opinion. Glad you are concerned about other animals.
I mixed pancake mix and baking soda dry for this test I have used corn bread mix and baking soda before but had to add a little sugar to get the rats to eat it.
Want to make a really effective one combine baking powder with complete pancake mix and just enough penut oil to make it the cobsistancy of sugar cookie dough. Alternately you can mix in plaster of paris instead of baking soda. The first one creates excessive co2 that effectively causes metabolic acidosis sodium overdose or intestinal inflation, the second one causes a lethal case of consipation and dehydration.
Dang, I've mixed some BSoda, BPowder, and they don't touch it, yet they get caught in the Victors, am I mixing it at the wrong ratio. Anybody have a ratio ? I've mixed up Masa mix with BSoda, B Powder and covered almonds, they dig out the almonds eat them, if it is working, then dang how big is my flock ? I keep catching rats, got over a dozen in my traps in the coop, roof rats, not bush rats.
@@oakeymt.outdoors they don't touch my peanut butter mix, but get into the traps. I'm ordering the walk the plank traps, and hanging jars of p butter so they don't feast while in prison.
wear gloves when mixing because they smell you on it and avoid it at all costs and also just mix the baking soda with peanut butter so they have to eat the bsoda with the pb.
Nice experiment and alternative poison. The pest control company had been using the green rat bait, but I caught a racoon managing to reach all the way in and scratch crumbs off. He seems to have survived but I threw the bait out
Im not sure im convinced. A more controled expeiment would be better. It might have died from something else, even fright. Just one experiment, try again, if its done over and over i would be convinced.
How much do yiu add. Parts of baking soda to peanut butter. There is a house infested with rats I'm volunteering on. The elderly lady is in wheelchair and has cats. Any help would help. I have caught 4 rats under sink with traditional traps...but the other known areas are out in the open.
It does work really well. I moved up on a heavily forested mountain in Northern California about 3 years ago. I noticed something was eating my quail but could not figure out what until I put up night cameras. I quickly found that I had 20 or more rats running all around my quail pen at night. After some research I found out about Baking soda. I then mixed 50-50 mix of Baking soda and corn meal and put it out in small containers around my bird pen. It started slowly but within 2 weeks all the rats disappeared. Now I replenish the mix every couple of weeks and have had no problems since. It Works. Even better the rats keep coming back if it doesn't get them the first time because they love the taste.
So I live in the south and experienced seeing a rat in one of my properties. I’ve had it 2 years and never seen anything until now. The south is FULLLLL of water bugs though. Will this attract them and essentially feed them??????? I don’t want to get rid of one thing and attract something else. Also where do you all leave this???
I saw one video add peanut butter to the mix of baking soda pancake mix you could try that ..I thought it reacts to water the soda there must be water in peanut butter would be a good test
That would be a horrible thing to do to squirrels, who have a healthy diet of nuts, seeds, and shoots, so no they wouldn't eat it, and it would be tragic if they did. Squirrels are my spirit animal, along with dogs, cats, horses, and most other animals, not rats though.........~!
Hi. How much baking soda do you use? I am desperate. Exterminator came 3 x. Still here. I am terrified it will jump on our kids....thank you for any info..
@@oakeymt.outdoors Thanks for the mixing ratio. I hope it works for me! I have free range chickens and can't use a poison because chickens can be quite carnivorous. :))
I've got a mouse eating a mix of 25% flour, 25% sugar and 50% baking soda and it seems like I'm going to give it diabetes before it dies from this. I have a camera setup and can see it is 1 mouse (always comes out at the same time each night and is by itself) and that it loves the mixture - eats it every night, lol. Maybe I have a genetic freak
I just moved intova rental property-I found rat poop in my laundry room.. I haven't actually seen a rat just heard it and found evidence of it. I put a trap under the sink, but it escaped the trap. So i tried this- I put the baking soda mixture w sugar equal parts in a cabinet under my sink. It looks like the rat has been into it..I'm pretty sure & I haven't seen it or heard it, but i'm still really scared and don't even wanna live in my own house.
I think you did a good job on this subject have a lot of videos talking about this but no one has tested it like you did so I have to say good job. And I say if anyone or has anyone else tried this also?
I haven't seen any other videos where they actually test it to see. I been using baking soda as rat control for over a year now and no rats. I have had good success mixing it with peanut butter as well. Thanks for watching
@MichaelJohnson-ux7pe the trick is to get enough baking soda mixed into something that they will still eat. Good luck let me know how it works for you.
@John B did the rats eat the baking soda mix ? If so try mixing a little more baking soda in. If they didn't eat it it's probably to heavy with baking soda
@koolJay01 baking soda is safe for birds unless they are exposed to a extraordinary large amount. Commercial poison can harm birds that eat things that have consumed there poison. So I would say baking soda is alot safer to use than Commercial poison.
Agreed 💯👍🏿 but just a couple of unscientific observations: mice can burp/fart but it's more of a slow release, not like humans lol. Also, the salt in baking soda attracts mice, adding anything is not really important. Helpful, but not necessary. Ditto for water. All mammals have natural fluids in the stomach. Adding a bowl of water close by is nice but again, not necessary. ❤😂 JMO feel free to disagree and happy hunting 🤙🏿🤙🏿
Baking soda taste bland so adding something to the mix helps . You also need to remove any other food source. That way the baking soda mix will attract them more than what they was eating. The water was put in there so someone did not try to disprove my experiment. Thanks for watching
The point is to get them to die within reach; thus, put water near baking soda POISON mix. They will not get far and this method does work. I make nutty peanut butter balls w/sugar & baking soda. No more mice, rats or roaches.

It's all I use now it does work. Had good results using peanut butter and baking soda also. Just mix it up like your making biscuits
I tried this but I still have rats.
@@oakeymt.outdoors What ratio of peanutbutter to baking soda should I use?
@John B did the rats eat the baking soda mix ? If so try mixing a little more baking soda in. If they didn't eat
it it's probably to heavy with baking soda
@John B if it to heavy with baking soda it want stick together.
Thanks for showing the proof
Thanks for watching
Thanks for doing this !!!!
" BOOM ! "
I'm going to try it but damn they smell so bad when they die in the walls
Thank YOU so much.. I will try it soon
Did you try to cook it and eat it?
Not that hungry yet
How much baking soda?
I mixed it half and half
@@oakeymt.outdoors I ment, how much did it eat before it died? Thanks!
It eat about 2 tea spoon. I was surprised at how fast it took that rat down. That was a big rat too
thank you!
And I quote ".The rat is down ".
Good to know. The rat killer industry has some explaining to do LOL.
You are right. Lol. They probably knew it would work but that would put them out of business.
I wish you had a camera set up to that it really was the poison you made that killed it and you did switch it out for views.
That's honest results
This really works
Is this method safe for birds?
@koolJay01 baking soda is safe for birds unless they are exposed to a extraordinary large amount. Commercial poison can harm birds that eat things that have consumed there poison. So I would say baking soda is alot safer to use than Commercial poison.
Agreed 💯👍🏿 but just a couple of unscientific observations: mice can burp/fart but it's more of a slow release, not like humans lol.
Also, the salt in baking soda attracts mice, adding anything is not really important. Helpful, but not necessary.
Ditto for water. All mammals have natural fluids in the stomach. Adding a bowl of water close by is nice but again, not necessary.
❤😂 JMO feel free to disagree and happy hunting 🤙🏿🤙🏿
Baking soda taste bland so adding something to the mix helps . You also need to remove any other food source. That way the baking soda mix will attract them more than what they was eating. The water was put in there so someone did not try to disprove my experiment. Thanks for watching
As long as they do not die in the walls or where you can't get to them...stinks.
Stinks to high heavens 🤮 smell usually leaves within a few days
They will smell too if you use poison
The point is to get them to die within reach; thus, put water near baking soda POISON mix. They will not get far and this method does work. I make nutty peanut butter balls w/sugar & baking soda. No more mice, rats or roaches.
Did you leave the trap outside over night? Most likely died from exposure.
No it stayed inside and wasn't cold.
