Baking soda trick to keep mice away

By Vitia

Having rodents in your home can be a serious problem. Mice and rats may seem cute and harmless, but they can cause a lot of damage. They not only chew on furniture and electrical wires, but they can also spread diseases.

It can be difficult to keep them out, but it’s important to take steps to prevent them from entering your home. This can include sealing cracks and crevices, regularly cleaning up food scraps, and storing food in airtight containers.

Additionally, it is important to keep the area around the house free of clutter, as it can provide the perfect hiding place for mice and rats.

Taking these steps can help ensure that the home remains rodent-free and safe for everyone, as well as resorting to homemade solutions to exterminate this pest.

The star ingredient we’ll be using, and a great ally in the home, is  baking soda.  Let’s see how to use it to make it lethal to rodents:

Baking soda is one of the most effective methods for eliminating rats and mice. It’s a natural and non-toxic way to get rid of unwanted pests without using dangerous chemicals or endangering your family and pets.

Once you have the baking soda, you will need to identify the areas where rodents are entering your house.

Procedure:

    1. Place baking soda in those areas, as well as any other places where you suspect rodents might enter. The baking soda will act as a deterrent, preventing rodents from entering your home.
    2. In addition to placing baking soda in entry areas, you should also sprinkle some in the cracks and crevices of your walls, floors, and ceilings. This will help block other potential entry points for rodents.
    3. Finally, you should also sprinkle some baking soda around your house, as this will reduce the chances of rodents entering it.

Undoubtedly, with a combination of these steps, we would be in a position to successfully get rid of the rats and mice that may be living in our surroundings.

Another method, combined with baking soda, is to add sugar . This potent mixture will attract rodents and prove lethal.

Procedure:

      1. To begin, we’re going to create a mixture of baking soda and sugar.
      2. Next, we place some of this mixture in shallow containers or in areas where rats have been seen.
      3. The sweet smell of the mixture will attract them, and the baking soda will kill them when they ingest it.

Another combination is baking soda with water:

      1. You can mix baking soda with a little water to create a paste and spread it in areas frequented by rats.
      2. The paste will stick to their fur and when they groom themselves, they will ingest the baking soda, which will eventually kill them.

If you continue to have trouble getting rid of rodents, a combination of traps and baits can be used to capture and remove them from your home.
