Wanted to report on my results!! The mix took out 75-80 percent in about 3 weeks. I’d say it work pretty darn good. Hopefully new mix will remove the last few! Thank you so much!!❤😊👏👏👏👏

@@rnavedojrno he put it in a plastic bowl w a hole in the side. Watch it again. I think an empty clean mayonnaise jar on its side would work in my flower bed. They dig holes n eat the flower bulbs.
Just like you, my husband has tried literally EVERY method to kill the mice/ rats near our chicken coop and under the shed. The 5 gal bucket catcher, the snapping traps, even the expensive electrocution zappers. And ended up with exactly zero results. I watched your videos on this subject and put out a few bowls of this mixture, we had a bunch of “dinner guests” that day. And that night. And the next day. My husband even saw some mice in broad daylight partaking in their free last meal. He looked at me wide eyed and said “it’s working!” TH-cam University to the rescue again! Thank you!
Wow that’s great to hear! Haha. Something with far less possible collateral damage to everyone but the rodents, so much for holding in the emissions haha
Good information, thank you for this information. Note to everyone listening. Keep several boxes of baking soda handy. It has many uses. Make a little paste, it becomes an emergency deodorant when yours runs out. Fire on the stove, sprinkle baking soda and no more fire. Out of toothpaste, make a little paste with water and brush teeth, works better than toothpaste + no fluoride or poison.
Just moved on 40 acres and we have rats and mice been fighting them they got to stealing the peanut butter of traps without setting them off.. Put this mixture out yesterday already got customers I'm optimistic .Did not want to use poison because we have pets and birds... Thank you so much for video..
I’ve been using this combination for years. I use equal parts flour, baking soda, sugar and corn meal. The death comes from the gasses made when the mice or rats consume the mix, their systems create flatulence and stomach gas which they cannot expel naturally. The best rat or mouse is a dead mouse or rat.
Thank you! I am at my wits end with mice in my house. Tried many things. Going out right now and getting my supplies for this fix. UPDATE: IT WORKED. Not all at once but I am picking up mice every other day. Also added a little bit of Ramen noodles to the mix just on top to attract them more.🌻👍🌻
You just fixed my whole issue in my coop, we were afraid they would work their way into our house eventually. We tried ratx , rat Traps , Poison ☠️ nothing worked and our coop was loaded . I put this in with cornbread mix flour and Plaster of Paris , just changing up the recipe a bit and it worked overnight. Nothing at all.. crickets 🦗 all dead overnight Thank you
This is gonna sound stupid, but what does plaster of Paris do that makes it deadly to rats? I know you can slap it on the wall or makes casts with it but as an ingestible what is its purpose?
Thank you. We just started mixing baking soda with plain flour and putting some bird seed on top. This honey cornbread mix sounds much more appetizing to anything tho!

I was at my wits end with mice and rats around my pool and outdoor kitchen in Texas, so I tried this solution. After a few weeks there were no longer any signs of rodents. No dead carcasses around, just gone. After a few months, still gone. I keep the mix in place just in case. Thanks, his really works!
@@justa.seeker4558 Probably not, I'm worried about the chipmunks, rabbits, groundhogs, birds... Make sure you use closed containers something sturdier than cheap plastic like a tin box if you must do this. Rats usually feed after dark. The traps could've put out after dusk then collected early to prevent murdering numerous other creatures.
Omg...I'm going to share this with my neighbor. They just spent over $1000 on repairs to their vehicle. Due to mice/rats chewing on the wire harness and other wires causing the vehicle to run on 2 cylinders. Thank you so much for this great tip 💛

@@praful6890 I've had people laugh at me for keeping full coverage on my 20 year old hoopty Piece O Crap car, but we have extreme rodent situation where I live, had two nice Subarus eaten by rats! My car has such low value, the insurance co. would most likely total the car if it had major wiring damage. Subaru makes their plastics out of soy, corn, and wheat, and they use PEANUT oil to lubricate the wires they pull through wiring harnesses! Why not put a neon sign on the car that says, "Free Rat Buffet Nightly! Bring the family!" I went to start the car one morning, absolutely dead. I lifted the hood and found every wire on the distributor cap had been completely eaten! Not just chewed through, they were _gone_ along with most of the plastic part of the distributor. I make my own rodent deterrent spray now with pure peppermint oil, mixed with water and a little dish detergent to make it stick better. The commercial versions (such as seen on TV) are not strong enough. If your eyes don't water a little when spraying a peppermint oil solution, then it's probably not strong enough. For extra insurance, I place sticky traps across the engine. My current car has a plastic cover over the engine which helps prevent damage, but also gives the mice a surface to scurry across. That's where I've caught them every time. I went from catching at least a dozen every night to zero (for now) so the peppermint is working.
Thank you for this information. Found a mouse in my apartment yesterday after six years of living. This video is a delight to watch. I have all the ingredients at home. A viewer from the Netherlands!
What happens when it dies in an apartment, does it start to smell? Or do you have to move furnitures to look for it a few days later? Just wondering cause I think there's a mouse living behind my kitchen sink and I wouldn't be able to move the counter to get rid of the corpse if it dies back there.
@CrazyAfry - yeah. A typical response. Western? From US maybe? Just kill it. Instead of letting it go outside. The same way as with any other approach to any type nature. Bugs? Spiders in a house? Yeah. Kill them too. And then the bees, and... Ah, whatever. And if you are from US, you are pretty good at this anyway so you may as well continue with the rest of the planet and nature.
@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 Can regular corn muffin mix work? How long after they eat till they die? Neighbor has a fountain and feeds them peanuts. I'm trying to get them out of the house. 😩
I used the baking soda with instant potatoes along with some sugar and cocoa. Worked great to rid my house of mice. Then I looked for the hole where they were getting in. Crack in foundation. As a bonus, fixing the crack got rid of house centipedes.
I've done baking soda and instant mashed potatoes. I was told that the instant mashed potatoes would expand their stomachs in the baking soda would do exactly like you said. It worked for me I just have to make sure one of my children are here to pick the dead things up 😟

This worked like a charm. Even tricked an older savvy rat who had been living under my deck and leaving little pellet sizes gifts in the corner. Put my plastic box with the mix (I used pancake mix instead) right where he left his gifts and a few days later saw him not moving and looking bloated.
This worked for me! Had mice getting in the house. Still haven't found the hole. Anyway, if baiting in the house, I suggest you put down a piece of wax, or parchment paper and set the container on it. The mice seem to make a mess, by spreading the stuff around , even outside the container. Just makes clean up a little easier.

We had two rat removal companies give us a quote to seal up three holes and set traps. The first company wanted $700. and the second company wants $2,500. We live in a senior community in Oregon outside the city limits. I’m going to try this today!
I tried it on a huge rat and it just wouldn't die. It kept belching and then getting very, very irate with me. It turns out that the rat was just a Chihuahua.
It works. I used corn meal instead of corn mix. Next day I could tell it was tampered into and I also got the gifts left behind. Wish I knew this during winter to keep those critters from debarking my figs. Thanks for your insight. I have been fighting these critters for 4 yr.
Love this! Another recipe my grandfather told me, was instant mashed potato mix with instant concrete powder. The mice/rats will get thirsty, drink some water, activate the concrete, and you know the rest. GAME OVER. 😋😋😋
Also my grandfather had an old recipe that took care of a heavy rodent infestations. You mix 1 cup of sugar 1/2 cup of mortar mix and set a bowl of water next to it. If you want you can add some uncooked rice or potato flakes. So when the mix is eaten and they go to drink the water , the mortar mix hardens their insides absorbing all of their bodily moisture. Therefore , wherever they drop to die it eliminates the stink
Nice idea. Absorbing enough water inside a rat's carcass to minimise putrefaction is smart. Where they end up rotting has always been a concern with methods that don't kill them on the spot. I'll give your grandad's mix a shot, I suspect Australian rats won't be across this trick. Cheers mate..
Dollar General and Family Dollar both have marked ALL their mdse up .25 to .50 , so Dollar Tree aren't all the stores that are jacking their prices up... China needs the American dollar!!
Thank you Sir,I’m going to be using this in the city where people don’t take care of their trash or trash containers any more and across the US a rodent problem is building.great idea
I put it out the first night in front of 4 rat holes,next morning it’s all gone and I restocked it for next night but oddly enough there were no takers!oh I also added just a touch of powdered sugar which I think may have helped but regardless I’m just happy they didn’t go hungry!
Thanks for the info. Less than three weeks after accidently happening upon this video, I started seeing rat scat in the kitchen and bathrooms. Set out some of the baits and have seen no more rat scat in the last month. How awesome is that?!?!?!?
EPIC. So very pleased you let me know of your personal experience. THANK YOU. Here are some other shows I created on this subject: HOMESTEAD HACK-Ridding Rats In The Attic th-cam.com/video/X2GNa0kWNz8/w-d-xo.html KILL RATS DEAD WITH CORNBREAD MIX: th-cam.com/video/TBeySuYvdbY/w-d-xo.html KILL RODENTS AND INSECTS WITH BAKING SODA; th-cam.com/video/lwzWpBGn0No/w-d-xo.html CONTROLING RATS IN THE ATTIC: th-cam.com/video/X2GNa0kWNz8/w-d-xo.html+
The only problem with that is with rats and the problem being in your home, they will die there and start stinking. It probably isn't a good idea to use this in your home but to use traps so you can remove them.
Thank You. I am going to try this tonight. I put out 4 containers of the Jiffy cornbread baking soda mix. This is September 29th 2023. I will let you know how it does. 😊
Your Dollar Tree rant cracked me Up 🤣 Thanks for the info on rat bait recipe, we have a few getting around our chicken/duck coops. Ducks wrung one's neck & snapped it like a twig though. My Muscovy ducks are like dragons lol
You'd love Muscovys, they are unique & so interesting. Not to mention one of the tastiest healthiest duck meat varieties available. Also catch fly's, mosquitoes, ticks like crazy.
I was just speaking with my wife the other evening about ordering some this spring. Did you know they are neither a duck or a goose. Kind of a breed all to themselves.
Yes, I've studied on them a bit. They are quite unique, interesting, & do wonderful with my chickens. They don't require a large pond. In fact I just keep a large cheap plastic drywall mud tub from Lowes filled for them & the height n size is perfect for their bathing & playing in. Also easy enough to flip over to empty & clean out. You'll love the sounds Muscovy make. Quiet lil melodies of endearing tunes but occasional hissing or slight honk if alarmed or upset.
Thank you so much for sharing this information! I didn't want to sacrifice my last box of cornbread mix but I have plenty of oatmeal! Being from the South, I was taught to always have cornbread mix on hand, and _never_ throw out bacon grease! That stuff is gold! 😄 I also have lots of peanut butter (we are semi-preppers out of necessity) so I'm thinking about mixing several small pieces of the natural peanut butter into the bait to make it more attractive. I don't want to use rat poison because it could kill the predators of rodents and the carrion eaters. I love the ravens and turkey buzzards who live on my property and I would be heartbroken if they were poisoned. I begged a neighbor to stop using poison for his cannabis grow after I found a dead bobcat that crawled into my shed and died in agony. (I doubt that mice even eat marijuana)
You know that's right! I am going to treat mine to some TacoBell toooo-night!🐀💥 I might use some cornbread and baking soda as a backup but don't think I'll need it!!!
I did try your recipe, and it works great!! We have "caught " several mice that have come into our house. Not for long! Thank you SO much! No fess and no mess!!

Hey it worked, and they whole sequence of accompanying. Pest all gone, 3 days, rat thing hit hard and rats are just about gone,, big property and big problem, thank God it worked, even the roaches and ants. Yipeeeee
@@cookiemama4 I put it in a open plastic container, but the humidity is too high now to use it, it seems to be wicking moisture to it and is pulling water now. I put them inside and out, dang everywhere. Since it is killing the roaches and ants.
YOU are BRILLIANT!!!! This is the best solution I've heard of. I love that it's not harmful to other animals/pets, & that it's so CHEAP!!! THANK YOU so much=)
This shows more on this subject. Wont work on other critters but does work on ants, roaches and food moths., Here is why th-cam.com/video/RWCNERVbTs0/w-d-xo.html
I have to wonder about Chipmunks and Squirrels. We have loads of both of them and or course, they frequent the barn in search of feed for the Chickens. I love those critters and wouldn't want to harm them, but if you have a farm - you're going to have rats, too.
I'm going to try this at my 90 year old Mom's house, tried the bucket with the rolling can, the electric shock box to no avail. Glad I ran across your video and will give it a shot! Thanks again!
Glad to find this video, Jerry. I had been looking for something that would be safe for other wildlife, especially the hawks and owls that might eat the rodents. Happy to have found this natural solution.
What a coincidence! I just put out this exact mix today under our outhouse (that is constantly inhabited by a pack rat until I catch it in the Rat Zapper) but this mix is much cheaper and easier than putting out other traps. Thanks Jerry!
@Wanda Smith lol the neighbors house only huh? That's like this guy in the video said the same thing. Having rats or mice doesn't make you dirty or nasty in anyways, it's a problem that needs dealt with. Your "friend" should be teaming up with their neighbors to tackle the problem, what's placing blame going to do? Stupidity at its finest.
@@wandasmith-de7vv right? Only had a mild problem with the occasional mouse in my house, so I have cats. But I live pretty close to the river, and when neighbor got chickens, oh! I started seeing mice and *rats* scurrying across the yard! Aw, No siree!!!!!
@@lovineveryminuetofit1314right but some neighbors have lots of debris and brush that harbor them BUT you R 💯% correct working together to rid the situation would be nice.
Very nice! This is brilliant, I love that this doesn't harm the animals that eat the rodents. It's often an uphill battle to save foxes, coyotes, and birds of prey that find and eat animals killed with rodenticide, as they must be very sick before they can be captured and brought into care. Thank you for sharing this.
I can hardly contain myself because my daughter ended up with her Prius being totaled by her insurance company and now my car is in the shop. Once it got up to $2000. I called the shop and told them I needed to call my insurance company to find out how much my deductible was and if they would cover this particular problem and they said yes. Not only did this young lady tell me the reason why rats are attracted to wires and hoses was because after the year 2000 the companies that makes these parts adds soy base with their other products and the insurance lady was kind to offer up this wide spread of complaints from their customers. I could hardly believe how much help she was to an older lady with very little money to get by on. Thank you for sharing your results with Jeffy cornbread mix with baking soda.👍
Oh my. Here is a tip. Get you some Peppermint Essential oil mixed with water in a spray bottle. Spray it bi weekly in your engine compartment. Rodents wont come near it.
A electrician told me they are looking for water. Rats stripped my electrical cord ate the water line on my washing machine. So when you set a trap set water out too.
Those electric wires are coated with a SOY based plastic which is sweet tasting to a rat. I had to replace all the wiring in a mobile home once due to that very thing.
@maehay4065 Great info! I've been trying to figure out why mice are attracted to car wires. I've been hearing more and more about this destruction from mice.
I learned so much from your videos, I am so happy. Last year when it started getting cold, I started getting mice in my bedroom. My bedroom is up against the garage so of course we called an exterminator. He set all kind of traps. I have to be careful. We have cats and dogs. so we did catch the ones down the basement that he put traps along the walls. Tonight I was sitting in my bedroom with my little dog and I my usable grocery bag making noise. I rolled it up with everything else that was in there, ran outside with it and dumped it. I was so so afraid of the mouse. Now I realize that he was just gonna go back into the garage and come back into my room, so that's not gonna work for me, but I love the idea of the baking soda with the jiffy crust maker and I think that's fantastic. You gave me a new life. I'm going to try it tomorrow when I buy the ingredients. Thank you thank you thank you Teresa 😅
Thank you! My husband works on small engines, and they usually come with a pet and nest, so this is great! And I love that it's not toxic. Thank you again!
It's due to all the fiat money printing. Don't get upset, you voted for these damn fools. Buy bitcoin to preserve your wealth and hold on tight. Big collapse is going to happen.
Be careful. If they have a nest in your house, they will die inside the house and the smell is awful and you may not know where to find the dead rodent. I manage rental properties and I’ve had to cut a dead mouse out of a wall. This remedy is good for barns, etc but not for when you have rodents inside your house.
Hi Jerry, we tried this in our 1930 house that every single food substance was completely sealed and in airtight containers, we suddenly had a mouse problem 7 months ago where I keep a completely clean home but I know that doesn’t matter now anyway my husband and I purchased 10 containers from Dollar General and bought the Jiffy honey cornbread mix, baking soda and we did the mixture exactly according to your instructions- the containers were put in our kitchen, in the bathrooms and in our basement. The mice were eating from them and making a tremendous mess! I put up with it and cleaned the mess up every Sunday and put a new mixture down the same. One night I was up late talking with a friend and lo and behold one baby mouse ran from under my refrigerator and came a few inches from my feet! That’s when I said enough is enough and was done with it. My husband called a company called free bees that was local, they installed bait traps behind our oven, fridge, bathrooms and basement and four huge boxes on all four sides of our house and not to say your mixture may not work but we tried and had no results. This company was a God send… not a mouse ever seen again and no bodies ever found in the house… 168$ was the cost and after 9 months a fee of 50$ to come out again. It may be a little costly but for peace of mind we have to have it done. I still appreciate your video for other people who get results from it.
Sorry it did not work for you. I'm still getting great results here on the farm. I no longer have them in my house. All I used was the Jiffy and Baking Soda.
@@TheresaWinkler-q7b doesn’t seem to be working against the rats in my attic either. I’m on the 4th day of watching them enjoy the free feast on my motion camera and feel like I was pranked.
My father made a similar mix in the 1930s and 40s. His formula: rolled oats, baking soda, sugar and some times corn meal was substituted for rolled oats. The problem with this poison is rats will smell what the other one died from and won't eat it. The ingredients have to be changed from time to time to get them all. Rats and mice love sugar and most sweet things. Stale dry bread sprinkled with sugar and baking soda or sorbitol also works good. Hey good luck, and you're welcome in advance.
Yes sir you are brilliant to figure this out. I don't want any poisonous residual leftover parts, food or chemicals in the soil. This seems to be safest way to get rid of the mice, going to give it a try for sure. I will get back to you my results. Thank you sir!
Always had good luck with old style wood spring traps as long as it’s adjusted properly and a hard bait smeared with peanut butter. Proper placement is critical. Along walls with bait to wall works. I also like the Wilson Predator Rat Trap in Canada or the Tomcat Rat Trap in the USA. Had great success with them. Another method is a mix of quick oats and quick-set Plaster of Paris with maybe a few raisins tossed in. Plaster hardens and plugs them up. Must be kept dry.
Thanks for sharing! We're currently dealing with rats everywhere and had a young laying hen attacked by rats yesterday. We lost her but hopefully this helps fix the problem for us.
Oh my that poor hen, I am absolutely terrified of rats y’all I mean terrified! I would probably run away and have to have pay someone to bait and trap for me😭🤣but these mice that are getting in my house are just flat out annoying and I’m making this mixture today! Thanks so much!!
Hey it worked real good, 2 days after I saw a big diffetence, and they roaches in 1 day started to disappear. One thing, I suddenly had a massive ant invasion, but latterly in 3 hours they were gone! Bless God, I'm so happy, if it works on meal moths I will do back flips! God Bless
@@kelig24 I heard grits is good too because they will take it back to the nest, eat it, and when they go to drink water they die from the grits expanding in their bellies
@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga try this mix also, 2-3 tablespoons wheat flour 1-2 tablespoon yeast mixed together well then add 2-3 tablespoons grated cheese to attract them!
Thanks, I will be trying your suggestion also. The bucket and can setup has worked well for us, we use a pool noodle as a “ramp” to get up to the can level. Often times I don’t even put any bait on the can, mice like to climb up on things.
I have video cameras placed around my bucket. It shows squirrels, rats and mice on it. It shows how my pail is a fail. Which is why I resort to this. I also mentioned the recipe and show the outcome in my other shows I produced on the Subject as well as an explanation. It's all about the digestive system and the complexity of it. Rodents having a longer digestive tract than other critters are subjected to a rapid buildup of gas from the baking soda having the reaction with the stomach acid. Rodents cannot burp or throw up, but they do eventually fart. It being a long passage for the gas to fart out, too much builds up and perforates their stomach and upper digestive system and they die. shows I produced on this that may be enlightening th-cam.com/video/9CwzP7AGQzM/w-d-xo.html and Myth of using gloves th-cam.com/video/SDVZQWgCiVk/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/ydzL-VQlSao/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/kle3Ho-N6S0/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/KT9PuuqkpaY/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/No5tPn1wKaE/w-d-xo.html.

Dollar Tree is much better priced than the 99cent ONLY store. I told them they need to change their name before they get sued for FALSE ADVERTISING. I try to shop there as less as possible since their prices went way over 99 CENT
If this works I will be very grateful. Unfortunately rats are an issue around the exterior of our home- we live in an old, wooden bungalow. Im putting in a garden this year and I don’t want to attract rodents. Thank you so much! I cant wait to try this method. It’s actually a relief to find this idea!
Sweet! I live out in the boondocks and every October we end up having to set out the traps. It was bad one year but we’ve learned how to limit them. This should seriously help us because we hate putting out poison, but they always take that with them and share it. This sounds much cheaper and more humane. Love living in the country, but the rats and raccoons get on my last nerve.
I never buy baking soda from the baking isle. I buy it from the laundry isle or the pool supply area when walmart has it. you will get a much bigger size for about half the price per oz. and you wont need to buy it as often. Just make sure it says baking soda and not washing soda. Also thanks for the tip will have to try this at my mom's. buying a house in the country in KY and she has been fighting the stupid things. can't use just anything since she has cats and dogs.
i tried this, and i will not use anything else, it was freakin THE VERY BEST EVER IN MY LIFE! hats off to ya Pine Meadows, i could not believe it was that great, from something that simple!
Peanut butter and baking soda works too. No more than 50/50 mix. Rodents will try to avoid the soda. The hens eat the carcasses if I allow it or miss them. No harm so far. 👍
We tried everything we could think of to get rid of an enormous vole (field mouse) infestation. All manual traps and commercial poisons we tried, failed. I saw the baking soda and flour method on TH-cam back in ca. 2019 and decided to give it a try. It worked perfectly. I mix equal parts of cheap non-brand baking soda with the cheapest flour I can find. I mix in some sugar and pour it down every vole hole. It wipes them out fast.
@@farleytrading Voles are small rodents that are relatives of lemmings and hamsters, but with a stouter body; a longer, hairy tail; a slightly rounder head; smaller eyes and ears; and differently formed molars. They are sometimes known as meadow mice or field mice in North America.

I tried this and it really works. I just modified it a bit and I was able to see the results because of modification. A little more expensive that's how I seen results. Save a little by using corn meal and baking soda equal mix. Place in flat aluminum pie plates. Now the pricey part but enabled me to see results. The flat glue traps. After rodents ingest enough of the mixture, moderator is right, mice and rats CAN'T burp or farther so mixture and their stomach acids EXPLODE, may not die immediately but will succumb. Proof in glue tray
Passed this on to my homeowner friends. They were delighted to find such an easy solution that wouldn't harm their pets. BTW, it's not only higher DT prices - I just bought a roll of paper towels, discovered there's only 100 sheets compared to the last roll I bought that had 140 sheets. I kid you not. And that wasn't very long ago either.
Thank you for the great advice. I've been successful with Rite Aid brand chocolate cube laxatives which are cheaper than Exlax but these can harm your pets if they get to them. I've also used a little less than 1 ounce Antifreeze mixed with about 5 drops of fruit juice (though antifreeze works without juice too) but this also can harm your pets. Your mix is ideal and a lot cheaper too.
I have been using your mixture, I see the dust powder in front of the container and some mice droppings in the container so I know they're eating it. I just can't wait for the day when there's no more evidence of them around I really hope it does work cuz I'm sick of being sick and tired these things taking over my house. Thanks for the help cuz I have tried everything even the glue stick that they're supposed to get stuff to doesn't work, lol you see the drop-ins on the glue but no mice, and those so-called plugins they sure don't work the companies only take your money but you still have the rodent problems. I have shared your mixture with others, so I hope they try it. God bless you, He has given you the wisdom, and you have in part you wisdom to others so that we too can benefit from it. Keep up the good work.
Yes, it takes alot of diligence to get rid of both mice & roach infestations inside the house. You’ve got to keep at it before they’re totally gone. I got mice from the next door neighbor as someone worked on his basement, their nests got disturbed so I ended up with alot of unwelcomed visitors.
Jerry, you definitely earned a thumbs up and a sub. I am so grateful to you for this video, plus an earlier video you posted. I've purchased three trail video cameras for my basement so I can find out where the rats and mice are getting in. I also purchased a few of the traps you mentioned in that earlier video, plus a dozen plastic containers...which will be filled with Baking Soda as directed. You are a life-saver! I have been battling a major rat infestation ever since my city tore up the street to lay new water pipes. They busted my foundation wall into my basement...I'm guessing that's where they're coming from, but your camera idea got me to realize I needed that, too, in my arsenal. Blessings!
Did not know that it was this easy. I am definitely going to try it, if it works as advertised I will share this with all of my family, friends and acquaintances. Thank you for sharing!
When you said they raised it to $1.25, I thought, oh well, it's only a quarter. But then when you said 25% increase, that's what got me. That's more than any store that I know of. WOW!

Thank you sir, I have dogs and it's been a struggle to put out anything that would hurt them but I'm excited to try this! Thank you again , and God bless!
Best of luck! I also mentioned the recipe and show the outcome in my other shows I produced on the Subject as well as an explanation. It's all about the digestive system and the complexity of it. Rodents having a longer digestive tract than other critters are subjected to a rapid buildup of gas from the baking soda having the reaction with the stomach acid. Rodents cannot burp or throw up, but they do eventually fart. It being a long passage for the gas to fart out, too much builds up and perforates their stomach and upper digestive system and they die. shows I produced on this that may be enlightening th-cam.com/video/9CwzP7AGQzM/w-d-xo.html and Myth of using gloves th-cam.com/video/SDVZQWgCiVk/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/ydzL-VQlSao/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/kle3Ho-N6S0/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/KT9PuuqkpaY/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/No5tPn1wKaE/w-d-xo.html.

Hello I wanted to say thank you so so so much for posting this video I had I had seen this about a year ago and was looking for it and found it I just recently moved into an apartment and had noticed lots of mice and ordered sticky traps ordered sticky traps and was waiting on them to get here and remembering that you had posted this I went from living through TH-cam looking for your video in my favorites I made some the stinking mice but just sit there and look at you like they owned the place I turned around said I got the upper hand here the next day I seen less by four days I haven't seen any I wanted to give you a hands up and thank you so much for posting this PS I have not used the sticky traps😊
I have tried everything you can imagine in my battle with them I’m definitely going to give this a try. We have spent a considerable amount of money and the battle rages on trying to protect your animals from being harmed while getting rid of the rodents can be a daunting task, thanks for the idea.
We don't have any other animals so were able to go to extremes like leaving poison bricks laying out (which the mice literally ran over top of and left droppings on them without even taking a nibble) and still had no luck getting rid of our mouse infestation. I'm going to be trying this.
I bought the sticky traps from Amazon and we got two right away. $12 for 12 of them. Those two rats tormented us for months and ate holes in our walls.
The rotating can works very well, but you either have to put water in the bottom or increase the depth of the bucket by putting two of them together, because the mice can jump higher then the sides of a bucket.
Thanks so much for your tip! We’ve developed a mouse problem in our chicken coop that’s become intolerable. They’re everywhere and they’re as destructive as all get out. I was tickled find your video. While it brings me no joy at all knowing how these little creatures are going to die, I have peace knowing my chickies will be safe, not having poison in their midst. Thank you again!!
Glad I could help. Here are more important shows I produced on this that may be enlightening th-cam.com/video/9CwzP7AGQzM/w-d-xo.html and Myth of using gloves th-cam.com/video/SDVZQWgCiVk/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/ydzL-VQlSao/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/kle3Ho-N6S0/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/KT9PuuqkpaY/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/No5tPn1wKaE/w-d-xo.html.

I started mixing red pepper flakes in the chicken feed. The birds love it, and the rodents don't. The birds don't taste the heat. The birds do get the added nutrients from the hot peppers. Even cayenne pepper powder works. These can be bought from the cheapest store you want. I try to find cheap organic products for my birds. You will be amazed how happy your birds will be to smell and see the added hot peppers and cayenne powder in the feed. You can hear my birds just talking about it while they are eating it. They actually aren't in any big hurry to eat ìf I don't include it in the feed. If I put it in, then I can hear the difference from them, and it works.
Can’t wait to try this. I’ve suddenly noticed flour all over my pantry floor and immediately went to the hardware store to purchase some traps. Total waste of money! I was just about to go back to buy the old fashioned rat traps when I came across your video. Got a real education as well! Thanks soooooo much!
@@tammyfritschie1697I’m gonna try this!!! I saw a rat today and dispatched one stuck in the wall of my coop. I have hundreds of cayennes growing in my garden and I don’t like spice lol
@@tammyfritschie1697 I'm going to try that! There is a tiny Asian food store in our town that sells some fresh vegetables that are locally grown. They sell these Thai peppers that are extremely hot! I love spicy food, and use jalapenos a lot. If I use 4 whole large jalapenos in a dish, I can substitute that with only 2 small Thai peppers and it's still hotter than the jalapenos! Those peppers are high in vitamin C that helps the birdies' immunity and overall health. I know what you mean about the delightful bird conversations we hear when they really like the food! Especially the corvids such as ravens and scrub jays that are very smart and playful. Years ago, there was a male roadrunner that used to sit outside the living room window and stare at the TV when it was on. I knew that roadrunners are meat eaters, so I put some cooked turkey out for it. The roadrunner came back many times and made a funny guttural sound that's unique to them, so when I heard that sound I would bring him food. One day I come outside with a plate of meat since I heard the familiar sound... only to be greeted by a magnificent raven who imitated the roadrunner's sound _perfectly!_ That was 8 years ago, and our raven friend found a mate and has had several offspring over the years. They are not tame, but they're friendly and seem to like us. Best friends I've made in many years!
My mom is 75 and for the first time currently is living in an apartment building due to no longer being able to walk steps. Needless to say, she currently has mice that I have been seeing for the last 3 month. Since then the landlord sent out an exterminator he came only 1x. He put down approx 15 - 20 glue boxes but not one mouse has been caught. Then my nephew gave me bait and bait boxes to try. There are 6 bait boxes and not 1 has been touched. I then spent hundreds on peppermint, eucalyptus, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon with no luck at all. They just continue to run right past all of it all night long. Finally, about a week ago I bought seven heavy duty rat and snake glue traps. Still no luck at all catching any of them !!! I sit in my mother's apartment all night awake and making noise banging on things just to make sure they do not make their way into her bedroom. As of last night, I sat up and watched them run all over the living room. One had literally ran right over 2 of the heavy duty glue traps and did not get stuck on either one. It was as if it was walking on water. I could not believe my eyes. Yes I checked them to make sure the glue was still extremely sticky and working because I did not believe what I had just witnessed. The landlord called 2 days ago and said the exterminator will be calling to set up another appointment but of course if they only came 1x in 3 months my expectations of them are not set high. As of a week ago the sound in the wall was so loud it sounded as if a giant person was going to break it down from the inside out. I am so afraid at this point it's going to be not just mice coming up from the basement of the building but rats too. This situation has completely destroyed any piece of mind that you are suppose to have when you are sitting in the "safety" of your own home. My mindset is shot besides the fact I have not slept at night (sneaking in a nap here or there through the day when my mom takes her naps) in a couple weeks because I am petrified of the situation. I can only imagine how bad this horrible situation would have become if my mom would have been here alone without my help recently. Finally, on to a more positive note. I just watched your video and I wanted to say thank you. I finally have some feeling of hope back. With your advise, I'm going to the store now and I will have this remedy ready and in their path within the hour. Your video is done so well, it's very easy to understand and the solution is just as simple. Again thank you for sharing your knowledge.
First of all, thank you so very much for taking the time to comment and clue me in on what I already know does not work. These critters are crafty. Second. May I use your comment in a future episode? And please let me know how it all works out for you. I do know this, my son placed this stuff in his home and the NEXT DAY he found TWO DEAD rats in his kitchen. They did not make it back to their nest. That's all I have to go by right now, also my daughter was able to accomplish the same outcome. I to no longer have rats (three) jumping off the hay loft onto my head, MEGA CREEP OUT. They are finally diminished on the farm. Not totally gone, due to the fact I do live in the wilderness. But, I found those glue traps are a waste of money. Thanks again.
Oh my that sounds 😲😵💫😫😵😖😩so scary and unbearable. It's going to be impossible to control since the entire building must be infested. 😨🥴 Hopefully that will slow them down 😰😬😵😩😣
Darcy that sounds terrifying and I’m so sorry for you both having to go through that. Sounds like the building is infested I would move her whenever first possible. Until then I would get two young aggressive cats that are not fixed yet. Only feed them once a day so that they are hungry at night and hunt.
Geez, really needed this 4mo. ago at my work. We were terrorized by 1 rat that got in. 2K in exterminator fees over 3 months my boss shelled out. This would have been perfect.
@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 I am in NW Ohio, the city is just over run with rats. I had the health department out who showed me how to bait the sewers and my yard but I don't want poisoned rats for my dogs to get hold of and eat. I will be shopping tomorrow for all the items to make a barrier around my home and work.

I wonder if it will work with squirrels, there in my basement
@@wandagaudett
Just plug all the holes into your basement to keep them out.
@@rnavedojrno he put it in a plastic bowl w a hole in the side. Watch it again. I think an empty clean mayonnaise jar on its side would work in my flower bed. They dig holes n eat the flower bulbs.
@@wandagaudett fill the holes or cracks w steel wool n caulk over it to seal the hole. That worked great for me.
Just like you, my husband has tried literally EVERY method to kill the mice/ rats near our chicken coop and under the shed. The 5 gal bucket catcher, the snapping traps, even the expensive electrocution zappers. And ended up with exactly zero results.
I watched your videos on this subject and put out a few bowls of this mixture, we had a bunch of “dinner guests” that day. And that night. And the next day. My husband even saw some mice in broad daylight partaking in their free last meal. He looked at me wide eyed and said “it’s working!” TH-cam University to the rescue again!

That’s cool they ate it, but did you find them all dead after?
Good information, thank you for this information. Note to everyone listening. Keep several boxes of baking soda handy. It has many uses. Make a little paste, it becomes an emergency deodorant when yours runs out. Fire on the stove, sprinkle baking soda and no more fire. Out of toothpaste, make a little paste with water and brush teeth, works better than toothpaste + no fluoride or poison.
Thanks for the added tips.

Just moved on 40 acres and we have rats and mice been fighting them they got to stealing the peanut butter of traps without setting them off.. Put this mixture out yesterday already got customers I'm optimistic .Did not want to use poison because we have pets and birds... Thank you so much for video..
Hope all ends well for you
I’ve been using this combination for years. I use equal parts flour, baking soda, sugar and corn meal. The death comes from the gasses made when the mice or rats consume the mix, their systems create flatulence and stomach gas which they cannot expel naturally. The best rat or mouse is a dead mouse or rat.
@M N Did it work?
Let us know if it works.
I can't wait to try this, thanks so much
50 years ago in the Army, I used a similar idea of baking soda lightly covered with confectioners sugar to get rid of roaches. Good Luck, Rick
My viewers have been telling me it also kills ants and food moths.
Boric acid and sugar kills roaches best.
@@beekind6267 .......
If you can find boric acid anymore
I use Diatomaceous earth with borax and pour a line around the foundation of my home. Gets rid of ants, roaches, spiders and termites.
Use borax.
Thank you! I am at my wits end with mice in my house. Tried many things. Going out right now and getting my supplies for this fix.
UPDATE: IT WORKED. Not all at once but I am picking up mice every other day. Also added a little bit of Ramen noodles to the mix just on top to attract them more.🌻👍🌻

I was at my wits end with mice and rats around my pool and outdoor kitchen in Texas, so I tried this solution. After a few weeks there were no longer any signs of rodents. No dead carcasses around, just gone. After a few months, still gone. I keep the mix in place just in case. Thanks, his really works!

@@justa.seeker4558 Probably not, I'm worried about the chipmunks, rabbits, groundhogs, birds... Make sure you use closed containers something sturdier than cheap plastic like a tin box if you must do this. Rats usually feed after dark.

If you have the coverage, your Insurance Co will cover the rat damage. Does not make your premiums go up as you are not responsible for the damage.
My Mom had a mouse get up under her hood a few years ago & he chewed up a bunch of wires. Mice damage can get expensive.
We will try
@@praful6890 I've had people laugh at me for keeping full coverage on my 20 year old hoopty Piece O Crap car, but we have extreme rodent situation where I live, had two nice Subarus eaten by rats!
My car has such low value, the insurance co. would most likely total the car if it had major wiring damage.
Subaru makes their plastics out of soy, corn, and wheat, and they use PEANUT oil to lubricate the wires they pull through wiring harnesses! Why not put a neon sign on the car that says, "Free Rat Buffet Nightly! Bring the family!"
I went to start the car one morning, absolutely dead. I lifted the hood and found every wire on the distributor cap had been completely eaten! Not just chewed through, they were _gone_ along with most of the plastic part of the distributor.
I make my own rodent deterrent spray now with pure peppermint oil, mixed with water and a little dish detergent to make it stick better. The commercial versions (such as seen on TV) are not strong enough. If your eyes don't water a little when spraying a peppermint oil solution, then it's probably not strong enough.
For extra insurance, I place sticky traps across the engine. My current car has a plastic cover over the engine which helps prevent damage, but also gives the mice a surface to scurry across. That's where I've caught them every time. I went from catching at least a dozen every night to zero (for now) so the peppermint is working.
Thank you for this information. Found a mouse in my apartment yesterday after six years of living. This video is a delight to watch. I have all the ingredients at home. A viewer from the Netherlands!
Glad it was helpful! And welcome.
Please let us know if it works!
Greetings from a Nederlander that lives in Florida 😊
PS. I also will try this concoction
What happens when it dies in an apartment, does it start to smell? Or do you have to move furnitures to look for it a few days later? Just wondering cause I think there's a mouse living behind my kitchen sink and I wouldn't be able to move the counter to get rid of the corpse if it dies back there.
@CrazyAfry - yeah. A typical response. Western? From US maybe? Just kill it. Instead of letting it go outside. The same way as with any other approach to any type nature. Bugs? Spiders in a house? Yeah. Kill them too. And then the bees, and... Ah, whatever. And if you are from US, you are pretty good at this anyway so you may as well continue with the rest of the planet and nature.

Can regular corn muffin mix work? How long after they eat till they die?
Neighbor has a fountain and feeds them peanuts. I'm trying to get them out of the house. 😩
I used the baking soda with instant potatoes along with some sugar and cocoa. Worked great to rid my house of mice. Then I looked for the hole where they were getting in. Crack in foundation. As a bonus, fixing the crack got rid of house centipedes.
Great tip! But I quit using mashed potatoes here on the farm fearing it would harm my livestock.

This worked like a charm. Even tricked an older savvy rat who had been living under my deck and leaving little pellet sizes gifts in the corner. Put my plastic box with the mix (I used pancake mix instead) right where he left his gifts and a few days later saw him not moving and looking bloated.
Oh wow. Thank you so much for sharing.
LOL 😂😂😂
The main reason why this rat looked bloated is because the baking soda most likely blew up it's stomach.
Was he dead or did he just have indigestion?
Same thing happens when they ate polyacrylamide Crystals.
Thank for the demonstration with the mason jar of vinegar and Baking Soda.
You bet!
This worked for me! Had mice getting in the house. Still haven't found the hole. Anyway, if baiting in the house, I suggest you put down a piece of wax, or parchment paper and set the container on it. The mice seem to make a mess, by spreading the stuff around , even outside the container.
Just makes clean up a little easier.

We had two rat removal companies give us a quote to seal up three holes and set traps. The first company wanted $700. and the second company wants $2,500. We live in a senior community in Oregon outside the city limits. I’m going to try this today!
I tried it on a huge rat and it just wouldn't die. It kept belching and then getting very, very irate with me. It turns out that the rat was just a Chihuahua.
@@randalthor6872 😂
It works. I used corn meal instead of corn mix. Next day I could tell it was tampered into and I also got the gifts left behind. Wish I knew this during winter to keep those critters from debarking my figs. Thanks for your insight. I have been fighting these critters for 4 yr.
Thanks for letting us know.
Will this formula work on gophers and moles? @@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319
I wondered about the self rising corn meal and what that would do in conjunction with the baking soda!
@@mariewoodell8581NO. - Use borax and flour.
Love this! Another recipe my grandfather told me, was instant mashed potato mix with instant concrete powder. The mice/rats will get thirsty, drink some water, activate the concrete, and you know the rest. GAME OVER. 😋😋😋
I have tried that but became concerned for my pets, livestock and wildlife.
Omg that is brilliant!!! Trying both recipes tonight after a shopping trip lol. Dang rats keep eating my plants and I’ve had it!
Would it work with armadillos?
Lol 😂😂😂
Wonder if that would work with groundhogs.
Also my grandfather had an old recipe that took care of a heavy rodent infestations. You mix 1 cup of sugar 1/2 cup of mortar mix and set a bowl of water next to it. If you want you can add some uncooked rice or potato flakes. So when the mix is eaten and they go to drink the water , the mortar mix hardens their insides absorbing all of their bodily moisture. Therefore , wherever they drop to die it eliminates the stink
I hesitate using that combination due to the risk of my pets, livestock and beneficial wildlife.
Old school smarts
Make some really cool intestinal shaped concrete art!
Nice idea. Absorbing enough water inside a rat's carcass to minimise putrefaction is smart. Where they end up rotting has always been a concern with methods that don't kill them on the spot. I'll give your grandad's mix a shot, I suspect Australian rats won't be across this trick. Cheers mate..
Dollar General and Family Dollar both have marked ALL their mdse up .25 to

China needs the American dollar!!
Thank you Sir,I’m going to be using this in the city where people don’t take care of their trash or trash containers any more and across the US a rodent problem is building.great idea
Oh no. I know it will work for you.+
I put it out the first night in front of 4 rat holes,next morning it’s all gone and I restocked it for next night but oddly enough there were no takers!oh I also added just a touch of powdered sugar which I think may have helped but regardless I’m just happy they didn’t go hungry!
Guess your never to old to learn something new 😊

Thanks for the info. Less than three weeks after accidently happening upon this video, I started seeing rat scat in the kitchen and bathrooms. Set out some of the baits and have seen no more rat scat in the last month. How awesome is that?!?!?!?

@marykinser. UPDATE?
@marykinser update???
Your Dollar Tree rant cracked me Up 🤣 Thanks for the info on rat bait recipe, we have a few getting around our chicken/duck coops. Ducks wrung one's neck & snapped it like a twig though. My Muscovy ducks are like dragons lol
That is awesome! I have been thinking of getting some Muscovy Ducks to add to my livestock.
You'd love Muscovys, they are unique & so interesting. Not to mention one of the tastiest healthiest duck meat varieties available. Also catch fly's, mosquitoes, ticks like crazy.
I was just speaking with my wife the other evening about ordering some this spring. Did you know they are neither a duck or a goose. Kind of a breed all to themselves.
Yes, I've studied on them a bit. They are quite unique, interesting, & do wonderful with my chickens. They don't require a large pond. In fact I just keep a large cheap plastic drywall mud tub from Lowes filled for them & the height n size is perfect for their bathing & playing in. Also easy enough to flip over to empty & clean out. You'll love the sounds Muscovy make. Quiet lil melodies of endearing tunes but occasional hissing or slight honk if alarmed or upset.
Thank you.
I’ve been doing this for a few months around my chickens but I use oats and it works amazing.
Thank you so much for sharing this information! I didn't want to sacrifice my last box of cornbread mix but I have plenty of oatmeal! Being from the South, I was taught to always have cornbread mix on hand, and _never_ throw out bacon grease! That stuff is gold! 😄
I also have lots of peanut butter (we are semi-preppers out of necessity) so I'm thinking about mixing several small pieces of the natural peanut butter into the bait to make it more attractive.
I don't want to use rat poison because it could kill the predators of rodents and the carrion eaters. I love the ravens and turkey buzzards who live on my property and I would be heartbroken if they were poisoned. I begged a neighbor to stop using poison for his cannabis grow after I found a dead bobcat that crawled into my shed and died in agony. (I doubt that mice even eat marijuana)
how does oats work please
@@LazyIRanch They also like the bacon grease??? lol
I had no idea rats can’t burp or pass gas! Thank you for this amazing rodent control tip! 💯🇺🇸❣️

This shows more on this subject. Wont work on other critters but does work on ants, roaches and food moths., Here is why th-cam.com/video/RWCNERVbTs0/w-d-xo.html
I have to wonder about Chipmunks and Squirrels. We have loads of both of them and or course, they frequent the barn in search of feed for the Chickens. I love those critters and wouldn't want to harm them, but if you have a farm - you're going to have rats, too.
I use live traps on those types of creatures.
I second the motion!

Glad to find this video, Jerry. I had been looking for something that would be safe for other wildlife, especially the hawks and owls that might eat the rodents. Happy to have found this natural solution.

I'm telling my sister law to mix this up and put it around her 🏡for those Big Rats 🐀 that's by they House that's coming from her Neighbors House
@Wanda Smith lol the neighbors house only huh? That's like this guy in the video said the same thing.

Very nice! This is brilliant, I love that this doesn't harm the animals that eat the rodents. It's often an uphill battle to save foxes, coyotes, and birds of prey that find and eat animals killed with rodenticide, as they must be very sick before they can be captured and brought into care. Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks for letting me know.
So what is the recipe?
How long did it take?
I can hardly contain myself because my daughter ended up with her Prius being totaled by her insurance company and now my car is in the shop. Once it got up to $2000. I called the shop and told them I needed to call my insurance company to find out how much my deductible was and if they would cover this particular problem and they said yes. Not only did this young lady tell me the reason why rats are attracted to wires and hoses was because after the year 2000 the companies that makes these parts adds soy base with their other products and the insurance lady was kind to offer up this wide spread of complaints from their customers. I could hardly believe how much help she was to an older lady with very little money to get by on. Thank you for sharing your results with Jeffy cornbread mix with baking soda.👍
Oh my. Here is a tip. Get you some Peppermint Essential oil mixed with water in a spray bottle. Spray it bi weekly in your engine compartment. Rodents wont come near it.
A electrician told me they are looking for water. Rats stripped my electrical cord ate the water line on my washing machine. So when you set a trap set water out too.
Those electric wires are coated with a SOY based plastic which is sweet tasting to a rat. I had to replace all the wiring in a mobile home once due to that very thing.
@maehay4065 Great info! I've been trying to figure out why mice are attracted to car wires. I've been hearing more and more about this destruction from mice.
I learned so much from your videos, I am so happy. Last year when it started getting cold, I started getting mice in my bedroom. My bedroom is up against the garage so of course we called an exterminator. He set all kind of traps. I have to be careful. We have cats and dogs. so we did catch the ones down the basement that he put traps along the walls. Tonight I was sitting in my bedroom with my little dog and I my usable grocery bag making noise. I rolled it up with everything else that was in there, ran outside with it and dumped it. I was so so afraid of the mouse. Now I realize that he was just gonna go back into the garage and come back into my room, so that's not gonna work for me, but I love the idea of the baking soda with the jiffy crust maker and I think that's fantastic. You gave me a new life. I'm going to try it tomorrow when I buy the ingredients. Thank you thank you thank you Teresa 😅
Not jiffy crust maker. Jiffy corn muffin mix.
And did it work?

Fantastic!
Be careful. If they have a nest in your house, they will die inside the house and the smell is awful and you may not know where to find the dead rodent. I manage rental properties and I’ve had to cut a dead mouse out of a wall. This remedy is good for barns, etc but not for when you have rodents inside your house.
The Federal Reserve flooded the money supply with trillions of new dollars without backing, and the value of the dollar decreased by 25%.

Shopping at Dollar Tree is not fun anymore!
Hi Jerry, we tried this in our 1930 house that every single food substance was completely sealed and in airtight containers, we suddenly had a mouse problem 7 months ago where I keep a completely clean home but I know that doesn’t matter now anyway my husband and I purchased 10 containers from Dollar General and bought the Jiffy honey cornbread mix, baking soda and we did the mixture exactly according to your instructions- the containers were put in our kitchen, in the bathrooms and in our basement. The mice were eating from them and making a tremendous mess! I put up with it and cleaned the mess up every Sunday and put a new mixture down the same. One night I was up late talking with a friend and lo and behold one baby mouse ran from under my refrigerator and came a few inches from my feet! That’s when I said enough is enough and was done with it. My husband called a company called free bees that was local, they installed bait traps behind our oven, fridge, bathrooms and basement and four huge boxes on all four sides of our house and not to say your mixture may not work but we tried and had no results. This company was a God send… not a mouse ever seen again and no bodies ever found in the house… 168$ was the cost and after 9 months a fee of 50$ to come out again. It may be a little costly but for peace of mind we have to have it done. I still appreciate your video for other people who get results from it.
Sorry it did not work for you. I'm still getting great results here on the farm. I no longer have them in my house. All I used was the Jiffy and Baking Soda.
@@TheresaWinkler-q7b doesn’t seem to be working against the rats in my attic either. I’m on the 4th day of watching them enjoy the free feast on my motion camera and feel like I was pranked.

@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 You're very much welcomed.
My father made a similar mix in the 1930s and 40s. His formula: rolled oats, baking soda, sugar and some times corn meal was substituted for rolled oats. The problem with this poison is rats will smell what the other one died from and won't eat it. The ingredients have to be changed from time to time to get them all. Rats and mice love sugar and most sweet things. Stale dry bread sprinkled with sugar and baking soda or sorbitol also works good. Hey good luck, and you're welcome in advance.
Wonderful. I feed my dead rodents to a murder. th-cam.com/video/X2GNa0kWNz8/w-d-xo.html

Great to hear! I just placed some in my tractor barn with trail cams. Will see how fast it works out there. th-cam.com/video/9CwzP7AGQzM/w-d-xo.html
Yes sir you are brilliant to figure this out. I don't want any poisonous residual leftover parts, food or chemicals in the soil. This seems to be safest way to get rid of the mice, going to give it a try for sure. I will get back to you my results. Thank you sir!
Always had good luck with old style wood spring traps as long as it’s adjusted properly and a hard bait smeared with peanut butter. Proper placement is critical. Along walls with bait to wall works.
I also like the Wilson Predator Rat Trap in Canada or the Tomcat Rat Trap in the USA. Had great success with them.
Another method is a mix of quick oats and quick-set Plaster of Paris with maybe a few raisins tossed in. Plaster hardens and plugs them up. Must be kept dry.
Thanks for sharing! We're currently dealing with rats everywhere and had a young laying hen attacked by rats yesterday. We lost her but hopefully this helps fix the problem for us.
Many viewers are finding success with this.
Oh my that poor hen, I am absolutely terrified of rats y’all I mean terrified! I would probably run away and have to have pay someone to bait and trap for me😭🤣but these mice that are getting in my house are just flat out annoying and I’m making this mixture today! Thanks so much!!
Hope it helped 🕊🙏

We had baby ducks killed by rats I hate them!! So I'm definitely trying this before we have another batch !!
Hey it worked real good, 2 days after I saw a big diffetence, and they roaches in 1 day started to disappear. One thing, I suddenly had a massive ant invasion, but latterly in 3 hours they were gone! Bless God, I'm so happy, if it works on meal moths I will do back flips! God Bless
That is wonderful to know. I did not conceive of the idea this would kill that many of a variety of pests.
You can sprinkle plain cornmeal around your ant hills or ant mounds. The ants eat it AND they take it back to the queen, and that's that!
@@tobascoheat6582 plain corn mean with no baking soda ?
@@kelig24 Exactly.
@@kelig24 I heard grits is good too because they will take it back to the nest, eat it, and when they go to drink water they die from the grits expanding in their bellies
@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga try this mix also, 2-3 tablespoons wheat flour 1-2 tablespoon yeast mixed together well then add 2-3 tablespoons grated cheese to attract them!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, I will be trying your suggestion also.
The bucket and can setup has worked well for us, we use a pool noodle as a “ramp” to get up to the can level. Often times I don’t even put any bait on the can, mice like to climb up on things.
I have video cameras placed around my bucket. It shows squirrels, rats and mice on it. It shows how my pail is a fail. Which is why I resort to this. I also mentioned the recipe and show the outcome in my other shows I produced on the Subject as well as an explanation. It's all about the digestive system and the complexity of it. Rodents having a longer digestive tract than other critters are subjected to a rapid buildup of gas from the baking soda having the reaction with the stomach acid. Rodents cannot burp or throw up, but they do eventually fart. It being a long passage for the gas to fart out, too much builds up and perforates their stomach and upper digestive system and they die. shows I produced on this that may be enlightening th-cam.com/video/9CwzP7AGQzM/w-d-xo.html and Myth of using gloves th-cam.com/video/SDVZQWgCiVk/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/ydzL-VQlSao/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/kle3Ho-N6S0/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/KT9PuuqkpaY/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/No5tPn1wKaE/w-d-xo.html.

If this works I will be very grateful. Unfortunately rats are an issue around the exterior of our home- we live in an old, wooden bungalow.
Im putting in a garden this year and I don’t want to attract rodents. Thank you so much! I cant wait to try this method. It’s actually a relief to find this idea!
I have to keep up on this as rats move in from the nearby forest.
Did it work?
Sweet! I live out in the boondocks and every October we end up having to set out the traps. It was bad one year but we’ve learned how to limit them. This should seriously help us because we hate putting out poison, but they always take that with them and share it. This sounds much cheaper and more humane. Love living in the country, but the rats and raccoons get on my last nerve.

Peanut butter and baking soda works too. No more than 50/50 mix. Rodents will try to avoid the soda. The hens eat the carcasses if I allow it or miss them. No harm so far. 👍
My hens ate all the lizards and snakes.
I wood be skeptical about peanut butter because of the moisture,
We tried everything we could think of to get rid of an enormous vole (field mouse) infestation. All manual traps and commercial poisons we tried, failed. I saw the baking soda and flour method on TH-cam back in ca. 2019 and decided to give it a try. It worked perfectly. I mix equal parts of cheap non-brand baking soda with the cheapest flour I can find. I mix in some sugar and pour it down every vole hole. It wipes them out fast.
I found the same here. I do have something that will. I explain more here th-cam.com/video/NUuqAmE1NE8/w-d-xo.html
FYI voles are NOT field mice! they aren't a mouse at all!
@@farleytrading Voles are small rodents that are relatives of lemmings and hamsters, but with a stouter body; a longer, hairy tail; a slightly rounder head; smaller eyes and ears; and differently formed molars. They are sometimes known as meadow mice or field mice in North America.

I tried this and it really works. I just modified it a bit and I was able to see the results because of modification. A little more expensive that's how I seen results. Save a little by using corn meal and baking soda equal mix. Place in flat aluminum pie plates. Now the pricey part but enabled me to see results. The flat glue traps. After rodents ingest enough of the mixture, moderator is right, mice and rats CAN'T burp or farther so mixture and their stomach acids EXPLODE, may not die immediately but will succumb.

Thank you.
Passed this on to my homeowner friends. They were delighted to find such an easy solution that wouldn't harm their pets. BTW, it's not only higher DT prices - I just bought a roll of paper towels, discovered there's only 100 sheets compared to the last roll I bought that had 140 sheets. I kid you not. And that wasn't very long ago either.
Yup, I no longer shop there.
Thank you for the great advice. I've been successful with Rite Aid brand chocolate cube laxatives which are cheaper than Exlax but these can harm your pets if they get to them. I've also used a little less than 1 ounce Antifreeze mixed with about 5 drops of fruit juice (though antifreeze works without juice too) but this also can harm your pets. Your mix is ideal and a lot cheaper too.
Thanks for sharing!
Then when birds of prey eat the rats or mice, it kills them, too. Please don't use antifreeze to kill rodents.
I have been using your mixture, I see the dust powder in front of the container and some mice droppings in the container so I know they're eating it. I just can't wait for the day when there's no more evidence of them around I really hope it does work cuz I'm sick of being sick and tired these things taking over my house. Thanks for the help cuz I have tried everything even the glue stick that they're supposed to get stuff to doesn't work, lol you see the drop-ins on the glue but no mice, and those so-called plugins they sure don't work the companies only take your money but you still have the rodent problems. I have shared your mixture with others, so I hope they try it. God bless you, He has given you the wisdom, and you have in part you wisdom to others so that we too can benefit from it. Keep up the good work.
Only thing bad maybe with this is the removal..
what does the laxatives and antifreeze do to rats . Which is better
Yes, it takes alot of diligence to get rid of both mice & roach infestations inside the house. You’ve got to keep at it before they’re totally gone. I got mice from the next door neighbor as someone worked on his basement, their nests got disturbed so I ended up with alot of unwelcomed visitors.
Thank you.
Food grade diatomaceous earth kills about every bug. Be careful not to breathe in the dust.
Mice eat roaches, Fat Freddy's Cat eats mice.
Bats eat mosquitoes, frogs for indoors. Change frogs frequently.
What did you use for the roaches? I have a dog and worried about this traps...
You mentioned roaches....best most effective thing I have ever used is borax acid....
Jerry, you definitely earned a thumbs up and a sub. I am so grateful to you for this video, plus an earlier video you posted. I've purchased three trail video cameras for my basement so I can find out where the rats and mice are getting in. I also purchased a few of the traps you mentioned in that earlier video, plus a dozen plastic containers...which will be filled with Baking Soda as directed. You are a life-saver! I have been battling a major rat infestation ever since my city tore up the street to lay new water pipes. They busted my foundation wall into my basement...I'm guessing that's where they're coming from, but your camera idea got me to realize I needed that, too, in my arsenal. Blessings!
Oh my, this worked so well and so quickly!!! So great! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Glad it helped! Thank you so much for letting me know.
Did u guys pour the vinegar in the mixtures?
So all I do is just mix baking soda and jiffy cornbread is that all do I put a lid on the container or just leave it open please help me
I just finished setting out a container of this mix. I'll let you how how it goes! Thanks for posting.
Please do. Looking forward to hearing back.

Can we use this for pigeons?
Any luck?
Please post follow up
@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 i tried it..more rats than ever it appears
Did not know that it was this easy. I am definitely going to try it, if it works as advertised I will share this with all of my family, friends and acquaintances. Thank you for sharing!
Go for it. Please let me know how it worked out for you.
When you said they raised it to $1.25, I thought, oh well, it's only a quarter. But then when you said 25% increase, that's what got me. That's more than any store that I know of. WOW!

Thank you sir, I have dogs and it's been a struggle to put out anything that would hurt them but I'm excited to try this! Thank you again , and God bless!
Best of luck! I also mentioned the recipe and show the outcome in my other shows I produced on the Subject as well as an explanation. It's all about the digestive system and the complexity of it. Rodents having a longer digestive tract than other critters are subjected to a rapid buildup of gas from the baking soda having the reaction with the stomach acid. Rodents cannot burp or throw up, but they do eventually fart. It being a long passage for the gas to fart out, too much builds up and perforates their stomach and upper digestive system and they die. shows I produced on this that may be enlightening th-cam.com/video/9CwzP7AGQzM/w-d-xo.html and Myth of using gloves th-cam.com/video/SDVZQWgCiVk/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/ydzL-VQlSao/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/kle3Ho-N6S0/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/KT9PuuqkpaY/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/No5tPn1wKaE/w-d-xo.html.

Did this work on the mice?
Thank you so much! Knowledge is power. Blessings to you and your family, Sir.
Thank you.
Hello I wanted to say thank you so so so much for posting this video I had I had seen this about a year ago and was looking for it and found it I just recently moved into an apartment and had noticed lots of mice and ordered sticky traps ordered sticky traps and was waiting on them to get here and remembering that you had posted this I went from living through TH-cam looking for your video in my favorites I made some the stinking mice but just sit there and look at you like they owned the place I turned around said I got the upper hand here the next day I seen less by four days I haven't seen any I wanted to give you a hands up and thank you so much for posting this PS I have not used the sticky traps😊
Glad to help.
Thank you Mr Jerry Hanson.
Your idea is very good, you solved many people's big problem.
I sure hope so.
i use oatmeal and fast setting joint compound powder; rats disappear in days
i will use baking soda and corn meal as part of a rotation, thanks
I'm glad you contributed to the battle plan. We are ALL dealing this GLOBALLY, Especially our friend in Austrailia.
What ratio do u use? And what kind of oatmeal. All I have is the old fashioned kind.
I have tried everything you can imagine in my battle with them I’m definitely going to give this a try. We have spent a considerable amount of money and the battle rages on trying to protect your animals from being harmed while getting rid of the rodents can be a daunting task, thanks for the idea.
I was on that same journey until I began baiting my outbuilding and under my home with this. It worked for me.
We don't have any other animals so were able to go to extremes like leaving poison bricks laying out (which the mice literally ran over top of and left droppings on them without even taking a nibble) and still had no luck getting rid of our mouse infestation. I'm going to be trying this.
J
I bought the sticky traps from Amazon and we got two right away. $12 for 12 of them. Those two rats tormented us for months and ate holes in our walls.
How did it go?
The rotating can works very well, but you either have to put water in the bottom or increase the depth of the bucket by putting two of them together, because the mice can jump higher then the sides of a bucket.
Thanks so much for your tip! We’ve developed a mouse problem in our chicken coop that’s become intolerable. They’re everywhere and they’re as destructive as all get out. I was tickled find your video. While it brings me no joy at all knowing how these little creatures are going to die, I have peace knowing my chickies will be safe, not having poison in their midst. Thank you again!!
Glad I could help. Here are more important shows I produced on this that may be enlightening th-cam.com/video/9CwzP7AGQzM/w-d-xo.html and Myth of using gloves th-cam.com/video/SDVZQWgCiVk/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/ydzL-VQlSao/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/kle3Ho-N6S0/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/KT9PuuqkpaY/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/No5tPn1wKaE/w-d-xo.html.

I started mixing red pepper flakes in the chicken feed. The birds love it, and the rodents don't. The birds don't taste the heat. The birds do get the added nutrients from the hot peppers. Even cayenne pepper powder works. These can be bought from the cheapest store you want. I try to find cheap organic products for my birds. You will be amazed how happy your birds will be to smell and see the added hot peppers and cayenne powder in the feed. You can hear my birds just talking about it while they are eating it. They actually aren't in any big hurry to eat ìf I don't include it in the feed. If I put it in, then I can hear the difference from them, and it works.
Can’t wait to try this. I’ve suddenly noticed flour all over my pantry floor and immediately went to the hardware store to purchase some traps. Total waste of money! I was just about to go back to buy the old fashioned rat traps when I came across your video. Got a real education as well! Thanks soooooo much!
@@tammyfritschie1697I’m gonna try this!!! I saw a rat today and dispatched one stuck in the wall of my coop. I have hundreds of cayennes growing in my garden and I don’t like spice lol
@@tammyfritschie1697 I'm going to try that! There is a tiny Asian food store in our town that sells some fresh vegetables that are locally grown. They sell these Thai peppers that are extremely hot! I love spicy food, and use jalapenos a lot. If I use 4 whole large jalapenos in a dish, I can substitute that with only 2 small Thai peppers and it's still hotter than the jalapenos!
Those peppers are high in vitamin C that helps the birdies' immunity and overall health.
I know what you mean about the delightful bird conversations we hear when they really like the food! Especially the corvids such as ravens and scrub jays that are very smart and playful.
Years ago, there was a male roadrunner that used to sit outside the living room window and stare at the TV when it was on. I knew that roadrunners are meat eaters, so I put some cooked turkey out for it. The roadrunner came back many times and made a funny guttural sound that's unique to them, so when I heard that sound I would bring him food.
One day I come outside with a plate of meat since I heard the familiar sound... only to be greeted by a magnificent raven who imitated the roadrunner's sound _perfectly!_
That was 8 years ago, and our raven friend found a mate and has had several offspring over the years. They are not tame, but they're friendly and seem to like us. Best friends I've made in many years!
I didn’t know a rat couldn’t fart. 😳 Learn something new every day. Every day. 🤣 Thanks you for the tip I will use that on my mice I have out here. 👍👍
Glad I could help
Neither can cockroaches.
My mom is 75 and for the first time currently is living in an apartment building due to no longer being able to walk steps. Needless to say, she currently has mice that I have been seeing for the last 3 month. Since then the landlord sent out an exterminator he came only 1x. He put down approx 15 - 20 glue boxes but not one mouse has been caught. Then my nephew gave me bait and bait boxes to try. There are 6 bait boxes and not 1 has been touched. I then spent hundreds on peppermint, eucalyptus, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon with no luck at all. They just continue to run right past all of it all night long. Finally, about a week ago I bought seven heavy duty rat and snake glue traps. Still no luck at all catching any of them !!! I sit in my mother's apartment all night awake and making noise banging on things just to make sure they do not make their way into her bedroom. As of last night, I sat up and watched them run all over the living room. One had literally ran right over 2 of the heavy duty glue traps and did not get stuck on either one. It was as if it was walking on water. I could not believe my eyes. Yes I checked them to make sure the glue was still extremely sticky and working because I did not believe what I had just witnessed. The landlord called 2 days ago and said the exterminator will be calling to set up another appointment but of course if they only came 1x in 3 months my expectations of them are not set high. As of a week ago the sound in the wall was so loud it sounded as if a giant person was going to break it down from the inside out. I am so afraid at this point it's going to be not just mice coming up from the basement of the building but rats too. This situation has completely destroyed any piece of mind that you are suppose to have when you are sitting in the "safety" of your own home. My mindset is shot besides the fact I have not slept at night (sneaking in a nap here or there through the day when my mom takes her naps) in a couple weeks because I am petrified of the situation. I can only imagine how bad this horrible situation would have become if my mom would have been here alone without my help recently.
Finally, on to a more positive note. I just watched your video and I wanted to say thank you. I finally have some feeling of hope back. With your advise, I'm going to the store now and I will have this remedy ready and in their path within the hour. Your video is done so well, it's very easy to understand and the solution is just as simple. Again thank you for sharing your knowledge.
First of all, thank you so very much for taking the time to comment and clue me in on what I already know does not work. These critters are crafty. Second. May I use your comment in a future episode? And please let me know how it all works out for you. I do know this, my son placed this stuff in his home and the NEXT DAY he found TWO DEAD rats in his kitchen. They did not make it back to their nest. That's all I have to go by right now, also my daughter was able to accomplish the same outcome. I to no longer have rats (three) jumping off the hay loft onto my head, MEGA CREEP OUT. They are finally diminished on the farm. Not totally gone, due to the fact I do live in the wilderness. But, I found those glue traps are a waste of money. Thanks again.
Did it work?
Oh my that sounds 😲😵💫😫😵😖😩so scary and unbearable. It's going to be impossible to control since the entire building must be infested. 😨🥴 Hopefully that will slow them down 😰😬😵😩😣
I’m definitely going to try this. Did you put water out for them to drink or they found their own water for the baking soda to kill them?
Darcy that sounds terrifying and I’m so sorry for you both having to go through that. Sounds like the building is infested I would move her whenever first possible. Until then I would get two young aggressive cats that are not fixed yet. Only feed them once a day so that they are hungry at night and hunt.
What a geat cheap and novel idea. You are brilliant.
Geez, really needed this 4mo. ago at my work. We were terrorized by 1 rat that got in. 2K in exterminator fees over 3 months my boss shelled out. This would have been perfect.
Oh no.
@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 I am in NW Ohio, the city is just over run with rats. I had the health department out who showed me how to bait the sewers and my yard but I don't want poisoned rats for my dogs to get hold of and eat. I will be shopping tomorrow for all the items to make a barrier around my home and work.
Thanks for the master bait mix. I'm plan to draw up some blueprints and put this plan into action asap.
Go for it! Ignoring the rest. It's all about the digestive system and the complexity of it.

My Mom sent me this and it works thank you! I hadnt watched it yet so you made yours way easier lol but I made balls of peanut butter with baking soda and put them out and found 4 dead rats already.
