For the holes under your house instead of foam use steel wool! This works wonderful around pipes...use a screwdriver and stuff steel wool in all cracks! Hope this helps you!
I also am using that around the line set. Works great. I also packed steel wool around the pipes penetrating through the floor in the bathroom when I did a complete remodel.
Don't use steal wool, it still rusts and deteriorates, I use straight up Copper mesh stuff it tight in the hole, around pipes and voids. I then hit with pest-block expansion foam. One and done. Why go back Year after year.
@@thecrittergitter7576 that is the same thought I had, copper mesh, or stainless steel mesh, expansion foam, I think that should work well together
@@thecrittergitter7576 I agree with you 100 % when I talk to people on rodents I tell them to use copper mesh it will do a better job and last a whole lot longer and I have found that the copper will tear up the rodents mouth far better than the steelwool hands down.
My step mom had them coming in her trailor the exterminator put steel wool then the foam on top which held it in place. Then sat traps which where enclosed .
Yeah I tried several of those plug in rodent and pest control things.....the roaches danced on top like their personal nightclub and the rats sat and watched the show🙃🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The company got sued over their false claims.
This made me 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
This comment made my day lmao 🤣🤣 🤣
I also used the baking soda but I mixed mine with Jiffy corn bread mix. It has eliminated the mice and rats! This works! I also made containers like yours and I didn't see your video until now. Great minds think alike!
That is awesome!
I made the baking soda mix and it did work BUT.. they would die elsewhere and my house smelled like dead rat for days until I could locate it like all the way under my stove and cabinet, in the back of my son's closet, under his bed that had drawers and is extremely heavy to move.. In the beginning I was trying to catch and release, to be humane, but after 6 months, and my son waking to one climbing up on him in his bed,im done playing nice. I'm going to try the bucket method.. the rats have now destroyed my fridge and dishwasher by eating through the hoses..
@@buckiannscreations9089 omg same. I'm having the same problem and I'm so paranoid. Did this mix with the bucket work for u? I don't want to get an exterminator, but I've tried literally everything. I cleaned behind the stove and it was AWFUL. They have infested any and every container. I'm hoping u found something that helped u! Maybe I'll try a bucket with this mix. I got the flip top trap with a bucket but I'm too scared to check it lol. We live in a really really old house and they're popping up everywhere.
I tried that it didn’t work for me . I put out traps with dried fruit fingers cross
@@buckiannscreations9089 WOW, why would you try to remain kind to rats and mice?
This mouse adventure is such an exhausting journey. I've tried everything you've mentioned except the baking soda. I'm doing that today. THANK YOU!!!

It will work!
Well... did it work? . .
How did the baking soda woyfot you?
I have tried r dry single thing and also the bakin g soda with the Jiffy honey corn muffin Mix That didn’t work eithet. I Tried adding sugar crunched up Christmas peanut butter can dog food. Added warm Ester. No water nothing has worked still Saw vid said how much they despise peppermint sent Cinnaminson vinegar raw onions so I put both of cotton and little cup and add it on those things last night and I got up everything else including in my closet I’ll live in my shoes nothing is touched I guess they ran through it unlike you there in the house now chewing holes in the walls I also tried steel wall steel walls out over the floor when I get up in the morning Cookies they would not touch it.
Thanks for sharing the exhaustive process you went through! You’ve gained a subscriber 👍
Awesome, thank you!
I had a rat problem. The baking powder and cornmeal and a little sugar worked for me, too. I won the war. I had some "plaster of paris" and put a couple of table spoons in the mix, too. Set out a bowl of water. Plaster of paris and water turn into a rock in the stomach and intestines.
Congratulations. I hesitate to use plaster, cement or poisons due to my pets, livestock and wildlife.

That sounds great I'm going to try that because the rats we have here are the size of cats
Hello. Great video. Try this one: 5 gallon bucket. Fill halfway with water. Add black oil sunflower seeds. Enough to cover water and give the appearance of a half a bucket of yummy seed. A ramp, such as your 2x4 will work. Peanut butter at top of ramp with seed adhered to peanut butter blob. The rat will see seed, jump in to feed and drown. Good luck Tom lynch

Tenacity, humour and great presentation skills and that’s before we get to all the fantastic useful information. Thank you.
Our pleasure!
You have some terrific tips. I had the same problem and spent hundreds on traps and mass marketed baits. Ratx/Mousex didn't work in its natural form, so I used a grinder (mortar and pestle) and ground it down to powder. I then added a cup of peanut butter and a cup of cocoa powder to three cups of ground ratx/mousex. That worked for a while, though expensive. I moved to a more economical approach and now use one cup peanut butter, one cup cocoa powder, one cup borax and three cups baking soda. I mix this until it's flaky or add a slight amount more peanut butter to the consistency that the powder mix doesn't break apart. I use borax to keep the ants and other insects from stealing the bait. As for mouse traps and peanut butter. I use a mixture of one cup peanut butter and one cup borax. Ants and other insects will take the bait if you use peanut butter with no other additive and you'll assume the mouse took it. Using borax in the mix will eventually kill off any other insect population in the vicinity and the mouse traps will still be baited until a mouse is caught. I also clean my mouse traps with deodorizer after a rodent is caught and alternate the traps.
I found that the baking soda also kills spiders, ants and roached.

@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 That's unfortunate for the spiders, I prefer keeping them around. I forgot to mention if you want to locate where they're nesting obtain 8oz or more of UV-reactive pigment. The pigment works best indoors and will help locate a rodent's circulation. They will also ingest it and you'll have UV-reactive turds. This helped me locate access points that I had missed and what areas I need to clean and replace. I need to purchase a different color of UV-reactive pigment this time to make sure they're eradicated. The pigment is messy, it's a particulate, and I usually wear latex gloves and a mask when handling it.
Same here Clark. I have spend hundreds on all kinds of traps (including the electric shock track that hasn't worked so far), I have tested all kinds of different food to attract the mice as well. I am just glad I found out about the baking soda method (I have a large basement where I have seen mice, so setting traps all over would be a challenge). I just spread some bait with the baking soda in a few spots that I have seen them. I hoping it works.
for anyone trying the bucket method, don't use a narrow steep ramp like in this video. I bought the flip and slide lid and use a 5 gallon bucket. But I don't think the lid is high enough to get a Rat to slip throught it into the bucket. (the Flip and Slide lid is more for mice). The way I got a rat to feed from the top of the bucket is I built a ramp out of different level empty boxes, books and then I put old blankets on top of the boxes, so the rat could easily climb up to the top of the bucket, and leave small amount of food bait like dried cat or dog food on the ramp to attract it upward). What made me think of this Idea is this one determine rat started climing my mountain of empty boxes in spare room to get to the dry cat food (I was storing it in a box to keep it away from kitchen area, so he must have smelled it). I still haven't killed rat, but at least it is feeding from the bucket now (before the bucket sat with the narrow ramp for 2 months and no mice or rats ate from the bucket lid, no matter what bait I used).
Thanks! Enjoyed watching this video, especially when you caught that huge rate near the end! I look forward to proclaiming victory soon. Thanks for the baking soda tip. I will try it.
Glad you enjoyed it! kzhead.info/sun/ed2cg9OIooZpaXk/bejne.html
I congratulate you! I had some mice issues before. First was mice in basement, they used the central AC pipe to hose and oil tank nossle space in plywood. I used calling mixed with s.o.s. and I still had the old school banned dcon mice pellets [wish I still did] I caught 3 in glue traps , killed 4 with poison. They died in a.dark corner. I fixed it in a week. I than had mice in my shed, I used 1 x 8 native pine boards for siding and boards had gaps . I CAULKED the entire SHED. Tons of work, lol. Lucky I scored a case of amazing commercial grade caulking for free. Glue trap killed 4 mice, never a problem. NOW I saw my first RAT 🐀 In my garage! I had it really cluttered after a house remodel. I think it took 3 weeks of my neglect and having my Camaro parked for snow and winter. They got under my garage door, not sealing. I looked in a old drawer I was using to.store all my extra sweat shirts, I didn't look in drawers for about 3 weeks. When opened drawers looking for a t shirt! I saw each drawer had a nest!! No rats. But huge droppings in all three drawers and piled up trash debris [oh yeah, my teenagers left trash bags in garage when I was on a business business trip, I cleaned up and figured it was a squirrl, squirrels have done that] no it was a gross rat 😢. I removed the drawer and cleared my garage COMPLETELY!! Filled my Nissan Titan with all the clutter.. took me 12 straight hours to.clear my garage. I did see the rat runaway the night I discovered nests,HUGE. Next day after all clean. I left a dish with RATX mixed with seedless sunflower seeds on a Styrofoam plate. He crapped all-around the plate, lol. And ate most of it! I also taped glue traps to the floor. No rat , but a mouse. I than paid a garage door guy to replace my garage seal. Now garage has no entry. NO more poop. BUT I was seeing mice or baby rats, scurry In out of my outdoor precast cement HOLLOW front stairs. I dug around to get in. I left tons of baits for a few days. Than emptied 3 cans of rodent [TOMCAT] SPray under the stares!. Next day mice or tiny rats were scurrying in DAYLIGHT, probably desperate to escape the horrible mint scent 😂. I think they had pups under there? They finally gave upand no site! I also sprayed under my other shed, baited as well. And moved fire wood pile much further away. Restocking and spraying layers with the mint. Also sprayed mint under cars. I think milder winters are 😢keeping more alive? The mix of sunflower seeds [no shells) with Ratx I think killed the rats? Got lucky maybe they didn't have a litter. I removed all old mulch around house, I stuffed trap rock under stairs. Best I could, I now only have stone gravel, NEVER Mulch again. I lost 3 weekends to VERMIN 😢
THANK YOU for sharing your story!! Learned so MUCH!!!😊
You are so welcome!
15:53 is the start of the recipe. Use rubber gloves when handling all of the ingredients, according to a lot of the comments. The comments section is very informative. Thank you very much for producing this video. Lots of Desert Rats out here in AZ waiting to be encouraged to leave in one way or another. They really like devouring automobile wiring under the hood here in the southeast corner of the state. Lots of people just open their hood and leave it up all the time. I guess they don't like the light. 😊 👍
They like motorcycle wiring as well...ask me how I know. Oh, I almost forgot to mention this....snakes like motorcycles too. Took my super bike out one day for a rip and as soon as I got the tires warm I took off, ran her up to around a 100mph and went to slow down for a curve coming up, I looked down to see how fast I was going and there was a 2ft long snake coiled around my instrument cluster, cables and wires. Immediately I threw my hands up in the air and managed to slow down (hands free) and I eased over to the right and just before I came to a stop, I reached down grabbed the clutch, hit the brakes and was sliding the kick stand down all in one motion. Then jumped off and got back a few feet and then let some colorful words fly. I do not like snakes at all....come to find out when I got home and with further investigation, I found out that the mice had made a nest under my seat and chewed my wiring harnesses. The snake was looking for the mice and I never knew it was down inside the underneath side of my seat and around the engine....that is.... until I was going 100mph. Good thing it was a rat snake. I pulled over and couldn't find the dang thing no where...I was taking off my small windshield and other things too trying to find it. Then I decided to leave my bike idling (It was 90 degrees that day) and let the engine get hot, after about 2 minutes it came out, fell on the road and shot off into the tall grass beside the road.
i recommend trying to crush the rat x and mixing the two ingredients together
Baking soda won't require gloves
We have found the rats love honey. We’ve been mixing it with poison bait and they gobble it up, but the problem is that a percentage of them are immune to the poison, and as time passes they breed resistant offspring. I’m going to try this, thanks!
Glad it could help.
Try 100% antifreeze concentrate with sugar mixed in it 👌🤝
poison kills the birds of prey when they eat the dead rats. so you are killing more than rats.
@@SMOKEY-JAYS-DIESEL That is so dangerous. Many families have lost their loved pets from this horrible poison. Dogs are attracted to antifreeze.
You can just add strong vitamin d3 drops to the current poison. Which kills rats. Some rat poison is actually made from vitamin d3. Takes about 3 days and they die
Thanks for taking the time to educate us. Take care.
Thanks for the recipe. You had me laughing so hard when you kept putting down every kind of trap you can imagine in that room, for good measure. 😂😂
You are so welcome!
I found two traps with mice in our storage under the main part of the house. After searching for a while found a dirt hole they had dug to get under our driveway which leads right into storage. So I used expando foam to fill the dirt hole. For some reason they won't try to dig thru expando foam. Anyway, best way to fight rodents is to block entry into house, around perimeter & block entry on roof. If you have a whirlybird - gizmo that spins to pull air out of attic, you need to put heavy duty screen material inside, because they can slip between the whirlybird & the round metal opening. I found that out the hard way. Also, DO NOT keep cat food or dog food in storage. Also with Snap Traps, 1/2 way cook bacon & stuff it inside the middle bait opening. They cannot resist bacon & as they try to pull the bacon out, the trap will snap shut. Takes a few minutes to kill them though. The more they struggle, the more it collapses their small lungs & zing they're gone. I usually use a pellet rifle to finish them off.
I used the foam and steel screen. Works great at blocking their entrance. Also I keep this bait out to rid any others which may come near the home.

I have tried everything like you have. I tried the traps & I always put on gloves like someone advised in the comments. I could catch a mouse or too but never a rat. I tried the live trap & to see on my surveillance cam, a rat stuck his dirty hand in there & tripped it. They wouldn't go near it again. My cat is afraid of the rats like I am too. Oh & yeah the decon thing with the poison brick, nothing. I finally called a pest control who put glue traps down & poison packs. I told them I already tried glue traps & the rats are way too smart for them. And I was afraid my cat might get into those poison packs. They charged me money I didn't have only to make things worse. I've tried the rubber band trap, the one that supposed to electrocute them, & all kinds of bait poison. I can't wait to try this. I only have success with the more expensive poison on paper plates in rooms shut off from my pets. But I can put this anywhere. Is there a reason you keep the lid on the container? Is that from keeping other animals from eating it up? You don't know how thankful I am for your video. I am at the end of my rope here & can't afford to keep purchasing things that don't work. Thanks again ❤❤
I've had problems with rats in and around my home, I'll definitely give baking powder/soda, cornflour and chicken stock, cocoa powder/sugar mixture a try. Like yourself, I've tried all manner of traps, that the rats are now trap shy to, poisons and baits, but nothing really worked. I've bait diminished the rat population and fir a few weeks, we didn't hear them, but they're back. I'll comment back with results. Also like you, I wasted time making the spinning can, baited with good stuff, but that was a complete loss. I did catch 19 rats with traditional break back traps, but none for almost 3 weeks. Baking powder tomorrow and hopefully, we'll be rid of these pests before Christmas!
Hope it all worked out well for you.
My Mom always kept a small bowl of Coke a Cola in her chicken house. Worked great on mice & rats for the same reason as the baking soda. Coke was the only soft drink that would work for her. I like this mix better than coke. Headed to Dollar General shortly to get some more baking soda.
I understand beer works also.
😂 “ that’s when I started going to the University of KZhead”! I don’t know but that made me laugh and the way you say it…you’re good.

Thanks for sharing your rodent trials. I learned so much. ❤
Glad it was helpful!
I had slug problems on my large lawns when I first moved in to my house and there is a very easy way to deal with them. You need a litter picker, torch and bag, when the sun goes down out they come and thats when you need to go picking all these slimers, the next year you will have the tiny ones that are big enough to see and pick, now its very rare to see a slug, good hunting.
Nice tip.
I am so amazed. I had no idea you could kill rats and mice with baking soda. I bought poison many years ago to get rid to the mice in my house. They all died in the walls and my house stank for months afterwards.
The poison I purchased with the GLUE TRAPS don't work. This is working.
Awesome. I am so happy you replied and let me know of this outcome. As of today, three months later, I have no sign of rats or mice, not even a turn.
LOL, Had a landlord who did the same thing. Rats died in the wall between apartments. Nasty AZ heat and apartments filled with smell and horrid black flats for awhile. Beyond gross.
That's my question with the baking soda mixture. If you set this bait in your pantry, aren't they going to maneuver through their escape routes after eating and still die in the walls??
@@DivaInTheWoods As mentioned in the video and anyone with prior experience, if they made a nest in your house, they will die and rot in your house. Once the maggots have feasted on the meat, the smell should dissipate. This was my boss's experience when a rat died in her office.
I am so happy to know this because we have to keep our pets and owls safe as we get rid of these pests!
Yes, and thank you.
@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 I would like to ask you whether it’s ok to place the baking soda on paper plates. I use paper plates with baking soda, Nesquik chocolate powder, some pancake flour with honey. Next concoction I am making is Plaster of Paris with chicken bouillon and baking soda.
Won't owls eat the rats?
Baking Soda, baby👊 That’s a game changer for me. Man, I love how “passionately” animated you are in your video. 😂😂😂 Thanks Jerry. You Da Man. By the way, I enjoyed the background music. Good choice.
Thanks! 😃
Well done. Your hard work had paid off. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🙏🙏♥
Thank you too!
Thanks so much doing this video!!! We haven't ever had a rodent problem in 17 years until...neighbors a few houses on one side were told by CE to clean up and our neighbors to the other side took down an old trailer at the same time. I guess since we are in the middle, we got the mice. At first I thought they were cute....lol....now they are just taking over and pooping and stinking up the whole chicken and duck area. It's disgusting. I'm genuinely concerned that they may make the birds sick or bite them. My hubby is trying the water bucket thing tonight LOL, but I may try the baking soda and flour dishes tomorrow as well.
Working on yet another one getting victory over them rascals in the attic. Yup, Got every one of them. Stay tuned.
The chickens actually hunt and eat the mice. I've seen it. There's quite a bit of footage on yt showing this. So don't be at all worried that the mice will be a threat to the chickens, it is is the other way around! I'm not too sure about the ducks but it wouldn't surprise me either to find that they too would attack and eat the mice. I've seen wild herons also hunting and eating rats - whole!!
Nicely informative, and entertaining. You have more trapping equipment than our hardware stores.
Yes we do. And I just deployed it into my storage shed.
You are a VERY entertaining host!! You're a natural!! You just have a great personality for it. You're intelligent, smart and have a great sense of humour. I salute you for doing this. 👍👍😊😊
Yay! Thank you!
Congratulations! We're trying that baking soda trick also but we added plaster of Paris, rid x, bird seed, sugar and peanut butter. We rolled the PB in balls through the soda mix and even put a little dish of water close by. 😊
Sounds great! BUT, I do not use anything else due to the harm it may cause to my livestock, pets, and beneficial wildlife.
Glad to hear that you are on top of the rodents situation. Now you can write a recipe book by the Mad Mouse Chef du jour.
Great idea. A feast for a fox or owl, safe to eat, not full of poison, Cornbread Stuffed Rat Atooey.
@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 Yes! You can make it cartoonist with all of the attempts that failed and those you heard of but didn't try, as well as the one that worked. Make it a 91¢ downloadable ebook, market and keep the link in your KZhead videos. (91¢ allows for up to 9¢ various local taxes, to keep it at a dollar or less). I bet you will sell some 😁👍
Just one comment… People who have cats probably won’t want to use the bullion. Just stick with sweet stuff like that genius cornbread mix. Thank you so much for the really entertaining an honest video. It was quite enjoyable and the information was good and I’m gonna try that cornbread mix and possibly the potato flakes and a different place. Thank you!
Well said!
Thank you so much for a very informative, thorough and humorous Victory triumph.

In my area of NW Washington State, we have mostly the Black Rat (Rattus rattus) and occasionally the Norway rat. These varmints often burrow into and under things like my compost pile. Anytime I see one of their tunnels I go for them with road flares whose smoke is very toxic. I have a little battery-operated fan I use to push the smoke down the tunnel entrance. The smoke will come up through several hidden bolt-holes. This method is very effective and isn't harmful to any other animals. Also, it makes disposing of the carcasses easy since they're all underground already.
Thank you
Robert that's genius !
I gotta try this one
A hose hooked up to your car exhaust is much cheaper plus you won’t need a fan
Would that toxic smoke not poison your compost?
thank you for your suggestions, they are smart ghastly creatures, keep it mixed up, leave the traps out without setting them but put extra food for them on it, so they get use to it a few days. I put a container like yours with the hole and used jiffy cornbread mix and added a couple spoons of sugar, and I noticed that nest has been abandoned. So using gloves I will freshen it up with sweets and baking soda, and use more of these feeding stations around the house. I certainly want them to have all they want of this wonderful recipe! I try to be a gracious hostess. HAHAHA (evil laugh).

I love your homestead I saw you guys on Homestead rescue with the raineys I love your setup God bless you guys good luck with everything piece
I'm in total agreement with all year long vigilante. Especially around the house to keep the vermin OUT. Cocoa powder and baking soda/powder work well. You got it covered now. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🌻🌻🌻
We have added a total of seven cats also to the homestead.
Maybe avoid cocoa. Isn't chocolate harmful to wild birds and dogs, etc.?
With 4 dogs, unfortunately I know that dogs fart! Good to know that rats do not. I am implementing this baking soda hack in my chicken coop right away. I am so glad that the rats aren't going to out smart me this time----thank you so much for sharing your knowledge as well as your failed attempts!!
Hope it works out for you. Be sure to watch this newer episode for more information. I'm also producing an update today. kzhead.info/sun/h6aeqbetkKialZE/bejne.html
Dogs do fart indeed. I once got blamed for what my dog was guilty of.
I wish you well Sir - My Dog died when I was younger so I just wanna tell you - Dogs being fat and nasty smelling A lot of that is the food. It's unfortunately empty of nutrients - like if you ate kinda protein cereal every day no matter how clean it is it's gonna be kinda farty and ugh. Wet Food has unfortunately low protein and fat too - The Ultimate Solution! So simple truely so easy. Brown Eggs - Cooked or Raw - Brown eggs usually aren't from commercial farms because white eggs sell better - so they don't have any bacteria Cheaper than dog food or at least cheap truely cheap - an egg or two a day for a Doggy will let it Live a LOT LONGER - and STRONGER and LESS SMELLY Another super easy Dog thing - Give them Kibble if you have it in a Bowl with Water!!! Like Cereal! They like Cats are geared to get all their water from Blood from eating meat - so they will engulf a ton of water they normally wouldn't drink until later

@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 Shawn woods mousetrap Monday had loads of ideas for rodents.
LOL You remind me of me. I live in the desert and have a horrible time with the mice/rats inside the HOUSE. I went Rambo like you and still am. Just watch. I did this one but going to try again. I've used everything like you! Oils, all kinds of wacky traps, strong poison even. peanut butter w/boric acid, baking soda, plaster. Again going to try to baking soda again. Urhh sick of this and I feel like Bill Murray on Caddy Shack trying to catch that goffer. Problem now? Snakes! Its warming up and the snakes will come in undder the house for the rats/mice. Pray for me! lol
Hope it all works out well for you. This is the products I'm using these days with great success kzhead.info/sun/h6aeqbetkKialZE/bejne.html
The red and white mouse trap made by Times Up is excellent. Like all snap traps, they work best if they are inside a container that only allows the mouse to approach the trap head-on. Peanut butter, Nutella, mayonnaise, Marmite, and BBQ sauce are all good baits.
@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 something I used with great success is popcorn bags specifically the cotton candy Llama party from act II. The sweetness draws them in like magic. Pop the bag then shake in a few tablespoons of baking soda and drop the bag they chew the bag and everything. Slight mess but I know they got it.
@ Liz Taylor they are a PITA. Have a pest control for past 10 months. Done with that shit. I am going full galore on these motherphucking pests. Unreal!!
@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 I love your channel. I am going through this shit as well. Mice in the attic. Trying everything. Even Pest Control. Nightmare.
I’ve had good results with the live traps for squirrels and old fashioned traps and those black jaw type for rats although I am now tieing them down as the trap will totally disappear. Great results when a coyote moved into the area so I don’t use poison. Hope the coyote comes back.
I catch some in live traps and drown them. Those are the one's whom dont eat the baking soda.
I started using the baking soda this fall. The other day I found a rat in the driveway with its guts completely blown out...I think this stuff works

Thank goodness it was in your driveway and not in your attic or wall.
Baking soda works for so many different things I will definitely try it because the rats we have are the size of big cats
@@orsolyaszabo9302 you are going to have to put a lot down probably 2 cups of each and tablespoon sugar as they need to consume a fair bit if they are big I use quick oats mixed baking soda and sugar... Good luck.
Baking soda may work, but it's cruel. Find a better way..♥️
Great video! I am curious what brand of Game camera you use? I have ducks and chickens, so I also wage a constant battle against vermin. Things that I have found useful is to use a bit of bacon grease to sweeten the bait. If I put a few pounds of the poison blocks or pellets in a 1 gallon plastic bag with 1/4 cup of warm bacon grease and squish it around to cover the blocks or pellets completely, it really seem to increase the rate that the poison disappears. I have also had success just greasing the inside of the bait container with bacon grease with a napkin. Just the smell of bacon makes them eat anything. I have also had good luck with "cheese whiz" the can of squirt cheese. I get blocks of rat poison that has a little hole in the middle of each block. Then I put a squirt of cheese into the hole in each block. I agree with OPEN EYES WIDE. Wearing gloves when setting the traps make a lot of difference and washing your traps between uses. The wooden based traps can be harder to wash the smell off but the plastic, metal and wire traps are easy. Purple power degreaser works great. Every new trap I bought seemed to work great, once. Then I would catch nothing for 6-8 months in that trap. After my buddy told me to wash the traps, They might catch something every week. I am going to buy a 5lb bag of baking soda today. Thanks and good luck.
kzhead.info/sun/hLqcfdGsnZuirJs/bejne.html, Hope this helps.

I need one of those cameras night vision too where did you buy yours YESSS INDEED thank you for sharing this video with us GOD bless you 🙏🏾 😊
Thanks for watching, here is the ordering info. To Purchase on Amazon: amzn.to/31G2Un2
Love your strategic plan very good strategies worth looking at thanks
Works great, but be sure to use fresh baking soda.
Thank you for the update I live in apartment complex where my neighbors can't seem to pick up their trash. Im going to try this tired of the rats. Keep us updated on the squirrels I have a problem with those too.
Did it work?
I did not know squirrels were bad .
@@tommurphree5630 squirrel are very bad they chew on the wiring of home's and cars and then you need to replace the wiring if your home hasn't burned down plus you have the experience of replacing and plugging the entry holes up. Never trap an animal that your planning to release because you don't know weather that animal is healthy or unhealthy you might be released a healthy one in a unhealthy population or the other way around and All you have done is educate that animal and it becomes a lot more harder the next time and you make it someone else's problem.
I use the same bucket with a trapdoor lid smeared with a bit of peanut butter BUT I also smear small dollops along the ramp to 'lead' them to the top. I'm not sure if you've done that. It works every night, 1 or 2 mice.
I gave up on the pail TOTLY. Not even going back after I filmed this kzhead.info/sun/irKIe7Rph2hue3A/bejne.html
@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 Ok, the experiment is commenced with the Bi-Carb. I ground up sunflower seeds, raw buckwheat, rice flour sugar (about a tsp of each) in pretty much even proportions and then added about 1/3 of that total in bi-carb...so that was about 2.5 ounces(70g) total. I put about 2oz (59 g) in a container and weighed it ( well, I weighed it first ...then I knew it was 59..um, grams,and,...anyway). I've noticed the even-ness/smoothness of the bait, so will see a disturbance and will weigh it after to record amount eaten....I'll keep you posted, fingers crossed🤞
I had pet rats from my preteen years until my early twenties...they were as smart as dogs. Now I've met the Norway Rat; it is a literal battle with the Rats from NIMH.
Thank you for this video. I'll be using your recipe starting today...
Go for it. kzhead.info/sun/gbmuoaWlfGOEeHA/bejne.html
If you have rats in the attic and can't figure out the entry point, try this I got 6 people to stand around my house. I went into the attic and set off a bunch of roach foggers. This got them to flip out and running to escape. A couple of people around the house saw how they were getting in and out. I then stuffed the holes with stainless steel pads, filled with foam, and fastened steel mesh over the entrance. Yes, it might have been a little overkill 😂. But I have had 0 activity in over a year. Also trim branches away from your home. They often live in oak trees and visit at night. Mint, mothballs, ultrasonic repellents, etc DO NOT WORK! Large sticky traps, snap traps, and live traps are extremely effective to remove the ones trapped after sealing the home. After sealing mine, I setup 20 traps in the attic and caught 3 over the next week. I still have all 20 setup, but not 1 has gone off in over a year.... I am rambling, but if you have a problem, take care of it ASAP! They will chew wires, and you better pray they don't learn that your PEX pipes are a water source! It was cheap and easy for me to replace the pipes, but the water cleanup was hell!
Great idea. Get rid of bugs all in one fell swoop.
I can’t wait to try this. Everyday I go out to the coop there’s a new hole. I’ve been cutting chicken wire and put it into the hole but they dig a new one. I also tried the bucket with peanut butter and nope nothing. I’m making my mixture today. 🤞
Hope it all works out for you.
what is the mixture?
50/50 using Jiffy Cornbread mix and equal parts baking soda. kzhead.info/sun/hbt8fqmKjZSKpmg/bejne.html
Update?
I just got some Baking soda, my spring traps work on the younger rats but the breeders are a bit smarter, thanks for ur instructional entertaining video
Try this other recipe I am using with epic success. kzhead.info/sun/h6aeqbetkKialZE/bejne.html
Excellent!! Look into 940Nm IR night vision devices . They have no glow compared to 850Nm IR devices and trail cams tend to make a very low click when trigger which rodents probably hear clearly.
Ok.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I’m gonna try this. I live where walnut trees thrive. 1 on either side of me and another across the road. I’ve had the builder 3 times,the plumber 3 times & eventually the pest destruction guy. None of them found where the b______s we’re getting in. The poison worked but I have pets. So I’m gonna get ready this year before winter. The rats are a headache because of the walnut trees. THANK YOU 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Getting rid of the rodents without harming the pets is the trick, thank you for the tip and the science lesson on pet flatulence : )

It also works with roaches. I have used it for rats, mice and roaches.
Yea, no wonder I have no roaches. YAY
Yes it does work for roaches, thank goodness 😅
Thank you so much! By the way you are so plesant to listen to. I am grateful I ran into your video!
You are so welcome!
I hit the idea from another homestead KZhead using equal parts sugar, corn meal, baking soda. Just as you use it has been the only thing working my homestead. Another one is mixing peanut butter and plaster of Paris into a paste about size of marbles and leave out. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Sounds great, HOWEVER, I do have a caution about the use of Plaster, cement, or other poisons which I discuss in this video - kzhead.info/sun/ed2cg9OIooZpaXk/bejne.html and kzhead.info/sun/oKWlqZireX9sZoE/bejne.html and kzhead.info/sun/n9uzh9R6fqBmgac/bejne.html
That goat inside the barn- it was watching & listening to you...😂
She is my favorite. And She knows it.
Yeah....where's it's KZhead channel? 😁
The goat is saying, I'm glad he's dealing with these demons 😂
I saw the cornmeal and baking soda trick on another channel. At first they didn't take any, I bought a big rat trap and twice it was set off but no catch. I kept putting the cornmeal and baking soda out in a covered plastic dish ( from baked goods at the grocery store). Just be sure to mix it together really well. This morning I found a rat ON TOP of the chicken run, dead. Most of the cornmeal and baking soda was gone. That was it's last meal! Gonna renew the bait again. I think my chickens stopped laying when the rats appeared! Hope I get more rats and can get my chickens back to laying again. Thanks for the video. LOL, that's where I got my cornbread mix, Texas Honey Sweet. Makes a great cornbread too!
Indeed it does make great cornbread.
What's the mixture again?
I love that you're using a trailcam. 🤣😂🤣 You go for it!
Thank you.
??? Hi Jerry, great video! Next stop: baking soda for sure. I have rats, squirrels, and raccoons around my house and I need to figure out which are stealing my tomatoes. A camera is definitely what I need to figure this out. Can you tell me what kind of camera (make/model, if possible) you're using, please? Is there one you wish you had gotten instead, and why? There are so many out there. Thanks for the great info!
I purchased a 3-pack which I'm able to catch multiple locations or angles at the same time. Amazon amzn.to/3HKdkVh. I do prefer the cameras which record sound, personal preference, and have a LCD screen on the unity to review captured images. I was gifted a pair from Discovery Channel while here shooting out Reality show for Homestead Rescue with Marty, Misty and Matt Raney. CC BETTER Trail camera is the name of that. I know use five cameras.
Appreciate the information. Feel confident the Baking soda will work however I've been hesitant about if the smell of and the finding of dead rodents throughout the inside or under my grandma's house..any comments to if this a valid concern would greatly appreciate
If they do die inside, the smell will only haunt for around ten days.

Thanks for this, my Mother is having a new problem 🙄 like this one.
Happy to help
The 5 gallon bucket trick got me 18 mice the first night. I used 2 Ramps up to the spinning Red bull can on a coat hanger, peanut butter, butter and a little honey. Bucket was filled almost 3/4 full of water and dish soap, about a quarter cup of soap.
I will need to lower the can on my bucket to make it work. It still has not caught a rodent. My pail is a fail.
I also tried the 5 gal bucket 1/2 filled with water with a layer of sunflower seeds floating on top. Use 2 ramps & skimpy trail of seeds. Got a mouse & a chipmunk. I think it would have worked great if I had continued but wasn't after chipmunks so ... " the end."
Thanks for the baking soda hint. I have one for you. Under your house, put boxes/bags of moth balls. Leave them in the purchased container, put nail or knife holes in the moth ball containers & throw under you house. Nothing will go under there. Don’t know about the shed, but I’d try it there too
Thanks, I found something that works well also.
I had a box of moth balls in my closet and found a pack rat nest right next to it. Naphtha is also deadly poison which gets into the soil and never goes away. However I am ready to try anything. ( even twice) I just do worry about the environment.
Thanks for the video. We saw holes around our coop, in the ground. A few days later, we saw a rat 😑
Oh wow
Add seeds to ratx as they will eat all. I put flour, baking soda & bird seed together…
Thanks for the tip.
I feel foryou my friend! One of my friends had their dining room completely chewed up from squirrels! Rodents are very very smart and very bionic! lol
OH NO. Dastardly vial beasts.
I don't have a farm, but I live in the Mountains, in the middle of nowhere in the woods near Glacier, WA. I've had a lot of luck with Peppermint oil! One night I sprayed some under the tarp in my backyard that covers my kayak and bike. 5 min later I see 2 mice running across the CENTER of my yard, running away from the house! They never run in the Middle of Anywhere! So, now, before I go to sleep, I spray peppermint oil all over the kitchen and anywhere that I think they are getting into the house. OR I use the peppermint oil to herd them to a specific room where I have my live trap! It works like a charm! I put 30-60 drops in a large spray bottle of water. Did you know that they can find their way back from 3 miles away!? So I drive them across the bridge that's 1 mile away. That way they can't get back to my house unless they are smart enough to cross the bridge (nope!). I've had a lot of luck with the peppermint! It bothers some older people with lung issues but for most people it just smells nice!! --- I had luck with the bucket! I caught a rat, I didn't even know I had rats! A month later I saw that a dress was eaten through, most likely from that rat cuz there were 1.5" black hairs! So, now I spray peppermint all over the inside of the house. I even use it in the doorway when I need to open the doors in the summer. They hate peppermint because it messes with their sense of smell! This guy Shawn Woods has a lot of great ideas! You can't get the Victor Peppermint anymore, at least not on Amazon. kzhead.info/sun/qrKafquAlpqkeH0/bejne.html
I sprayed that everywhere in my shed. Did not work for me. The rat came in, built a nest and had babies among the scent.

Thanks so much for watching.
We have had at least one rat in our workshop for the last couple weeks (though i know where there's one there's usually more but we've only seen the one) and so far we've tried snap traps and some type of poison that isn't toxic to other animals but nothing has worked yet. It was definitely attracted to the dog food we keep in there seeing as it chewed holes in the bucket we kept it in. We brought the food inside and made sure it's only food source was the poison so it would actually eat that instead of the dog food but it's still very much alive. It's actually very cute and I hate killing anything, but it's got to go for reasons everyone already knows. One of our dogs smells EVERYWHERE it's traveled and goes nuts looking for it. I wish she'd just be able to catch it. One good shake and it would be over for that rat before it knew what hit it. That's about as quick and humane as a death can be. I just mixed up a big batch of the baking soda concoction and even added a little dog food since it loves it so much so hopefully that takes care of the one we know about and any others that may be around.
These rascals can be quite destructive. kzhead.info/sun/h6aeqbetkKialZE/bejne.html

I use glue boards, they have multiple sizes available. Of course where I use them are at vacation homes, homes that are empty more than not. In the garages, shops, outbuildings, sheds, etc. I catch mice, pack rats, small snakes, lizards, and all sorts of bugs. They are all pests where I'm at and I doesn't matter if a few die especially the ones inside causing havoc. If you have a really big problem, I glue like 20 or more boards to a bigger piece of cardboard or similar and now you have a huge glue board. Then you can simply cut away the glued piece and leave the rest. I have had success with this many times. And the big flat square squirrel traps works good here as well. I've caught many ground and rock squirrels at the same time, as many as 7 at once. I also use the water bucket with 50% success, it has to be maintained often and does not work in winter months as well when the water freezes. These pests are a huge problem in southwest NM. Definitely going to try your method as this would be so much easier than any of my methods
I tried those glue traps, all I ever found in them was a severed tail.

Thanks for this; I'm in Australia...we've had lots of rain recently and I have four old chickens who apparently don't mind sharing their food with pigeons, magpies, and an occasional gala, bush turkey and who knows what else? I had no idea how many rodents were also visiting until these last rainy days but I also have an adopted cat (we're the adoptees) and I have caught the chickens eating small mice before so I definitely didn't want to use a poison that would harm the other critters. This idea is perfect and has the extra bonus of how to keep it dry! Hadn't got that far. My son built me a herb garden up high and I started some lettuce in it and I was really ticked off when I found three small heads gone, just gone. Have to fix it today so thank you heaps.
Best of luck on you battle.
Jerry. Farmers I have spoke to use fly bait (Golden Marlin) and coke or mountain dew and they drink it and die in minutes. However, if your other animals drink it, they will past too. You have to be very selective on where you place them to keep your other animals safe. I would use this as a last resort as I wouldn't want to lose any of my personal animals.
Thanks for that tip. I am without rodents for now. My battle has paid off so far.
I didn't know soda could kill other animals besides mice and rats I have an aquaintance that she loves her chihuahua and she will share her Mt dew with it.The dog will literally bark at her to get another drink she's been doing that for years she said. I think it's gross to share food with your pets but to each their own. Anyways her chihuahua is fine we'll I think he may be addicted to the Mt dew😂😂😂...
So I don't know if it is or isn't harmful for other pets
dont use chocolate around dogs.
My uncle who was a dairy farmer in Ireland once told me he mixed cement with slurry and apparently that did the trick. How safe that will be in your environment I dont know but it worked for him.
Thank you for that recipe, however I personally would not recommend it to my viewers.
Stiff rat mix works well here. Cement/corn meal 50/50
Brilliant. Love all your arsenal and your camera angles.
Much appreciated
1st time viewer. Subbed and liked! 😃👍 Peanut butter mixed 50/50 with baking soda, and add some old candle wax shavings. The fine mesh on a cheese grater works perfect for getting small wax shavings. For the barn I would have moved all of the animals out for a few hours, completely sealed the barn, and run a generator inside until it died. Uses up all the oxygen and fills the place with carbon monoxide which even gets into wall spaces... Kind of a poor man's whole house fumigator that professionals use when they tent a house.
Thanks Jerry. That was great.
Very welcome
I used the baking soda mix and that seems to have decreased the population. The most reliable are large glue traps and it only requires the rats to walk across it and get stuck. Usually they are dead by morning from exhaustion trying to get free of the glue, but those that are still alive a good medieval dunking in water finishes them off.
All I ever found in my glue traps were severed tails.
@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 !!!
I put some glue traps down in my house and woke up to one caught on it but it was eating glue trap along with the glue that's on it and it was almost free until I swept it up on the dust pan threw it in the garage can outside they are very smart
Too many non-target species get caught in glue traps- I’ve seen wild birds, kittens, frogs, etc. stuck on them. ☹️☹️
A successful system I saw was mixing chicken cup a soup powder with plaster of Paris in a dry environment about 2 parts soup powder with 1 part plaster of Paris. Good luck. Terry.
Sounds great! BUT, The single reason I choose not to use plaster is because of my livestock, pets and beneficial Predators. Nice thought though.
Great stuff im having problems with rats and squirrels biting through the cables in my loft
Go for it. kzhead.info/sun/gbmuoaWlfGOEeHA/bejne.html
I sure hope everybody else has better luck than I did. We did the baking soda and the jiffy honey muffin mix. Are experiencing that it seemed to have invited them in. The things just make me cringe! I even just put baking soda down and they ate it. Still hadn't seen a decrease in them though.
Copied from my above post, so that it would show up in your feed. Peanut butter mixed 50/50 with baking soda, and add some old candle wax shavings. The fine mesh on a cheese grater works perfect for getting small wax shavings. For the barn I would have moved all of the animals out for a few hours, completely sealed the barn, and run a generator inside until it died. Uses up all the oxygen and fills the place with carbon monoxide which even gets into wall spaces... Kind of a poor man's whole house fumigator that professionals use when they tent a house. Vent the house well, as the carbon monoxide will kill anything that breathes air, including you and your pets. The exhaust smell will vent fairly quickly. Don't forget to seal and then vent any attic spaces. The good thing about the peanut butter mix is that they love it and it can be rolled into balls and scattered around any space without any powder mess or making boxes - very similar to rat poison blocks, but mostly harmless to pets... mostly harmless, because it will temporarily reduce stomach acid strength affecting digestion for a meal, so you don't want them to get into it every day.
You need to put a brick or something heavy on those metal can lids, I’ve seen them critters squeeze their selves under a sheet of plywood I had over my cow feed that was in a galvanized water tank!
Oh my.
I'm using this mix now with great results. kzhead.info/sun/h6aeqbetkKialZE/bejne.html
Yea I went out one cold winter morning, walking into barn he was squeezing out on the far side of the water tank I had full of feed. I pushed down on plywood and he’s a squealing and my chow dog Wang heard him and ran down and grabbed him and took him outside to play in the snow.
Thanks so much, and reading all the helpful comments doing this tomorrow. Thank you and love your video..

A number one and a half steel trap placed along walls works great. Wire trap to a cinder block half or large rock. Block against trap to form passage over the trap. Have trap so they are going between jaws not over them. Bed of trap is parallel with wall. No bait. They like to run along the wall.
I made a small batch 1:1 Sweetcorn muffins/baking soda, and put it out where rats are destroying my plants. The rats kicked the mix all over and laughed. : (
They do that. It is evidence that they are eating it. Get ready for the second wave of rats. Keep it going. I now have no more rats in my tractor barn, goat barn, chicken coop, house, or rabbitry. VICTORY
@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 oh good - hopefully they licked up a little. I set out just the muffin mix plain to see if they would try it; but it survived untouched during the night. They know I’m at war with them since they set off the snap traps using plant pieces twice now. Quick learners!
@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 SECOND?! o my......gosh I have more than a weeks to go
At last thank you this worked in my van I'd tried everything else 🏴🇬🇧🇱🇷
Oh, I am so very pleased you finally found something that is very inexpensive, AND WORKS. YAY.
My sister had problems with squirrels and deer eating her apples. She took bars of IRISH SPRING SOAP, cut it into pieces, and put it in a mesh bag or old sock. She hung this other trunk of her apple tree. This year, she was able to harvest her apples. My home is on a crawl space. I had mice. I used the IRISH SPRING SOAP. I put pieces in each kitchen drawer. I rubbed the bars around the door jambs and thresholds. I have the baking soda mix set out. I used equal parts of baking soda, cocoa mix sweetened with sugar, and the potato flakes. When the weather breaks, I will have all pipes and wires entering my home caulked. I had a spare roll of toilet paper under the bathroom sink. When I went to get it, it was 1/3 , chewed up; I suppose for nesting. That prompted me to find out the gestion period of mice. 19 DAYS! YIKES! 😮
Dispatched himself😭🤣🤣🤣I love it!
Yup. Convenient for me.
😳...Those were healthy looking rats...Yikes!...yes-squirrels are also soooo destructive!...😞
Brilliant ideas!
Yes they are, and yes they WERE
Thank ypu for such a thorough and informative video! As a vet, however, I feel compelled to correct one thing, that was mentioned, regarding the physiological capabilities of rats, and mice. Contrary to your claim, rats and mice do, in fact, possess the ability to pass gas, but they lack the ability to burp or vomit. The inability to burp or vomit, is an extremely rare trait, which is limited to select, few species, throughout the animal kingdom. The reason behind this, for mice and rats, stems from their bodily structure, consisting of a longer esophagus, than that which is present, across most other species. As a result of the increased length of the esophagus, complications, then, arise, with the reflux mechanism, responsible for producing these particular functions. In my experience with these animals, baking soda, and other similar products, tend to actually yield mixed results, with limited success rates, and, even, in the case of successful elimination of the animals, they still cause slow, drawn-out, and painful deaths. The bicarbonate in the product, mixes with the stomach acid, which results in a buildup that eventually leads to intestinal blockage. rupture, and, on occasion, death; however, it is unlikely that ingesting these products, one, single time, will ever be effective in yielding the desired, fatal result. It normally takes repeated meals of such products, followed by a waitkng period of 1-3 weeks, before enough of a buildup, has been accumulated within the system, to potentially result in a fatality. Throughout this time frame, the mouse, or rat, will be experiencing a significant, and unbearable level of pressure, discomfort and pain, so although this method does stand a chance at effectively eliminating these unwelcome creatures, the, overall, success rate is still rather low, there is profound suffering involved, and it lacks the ability to produce instantly gratifying results! Nonetheless, I am glad to see that you were successful in eradicating your problem with infestation! I'm sorry if my comment has come across as being harsh, or rude, in any way. I certainly mean you no disrespect, and just want to ensure that everyone is presented with the correct data. Upon researching this subject, one will be met with a broad array, of conflicting claims, and results, so it has, simply, been my intention, to pinpoint the information, that is, in fact, true and accurate!🙃🙂
I stand corrected. Thank you. I regurgitated my information which was gleaned from the UNIVERSITY OF KZhead. My granddaughter is headed off to OSU in a few weeks to study to be a Vet as well.
@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 Oh, that's awesome! Congratulations to your granddaughter, and I hope she enjoys it! Animals are such pure, authentic souls. I'm sure you know, exactly, what I mean, considering you own a farm! I just never get sick of spending time with them, and being able to help them, and it brings me a ton of joy. I hope your granddaughter finds that same joy, and sense of satisfaction and reward, in working in this field!😊
Jessica, according to your comment, how is his success rate "still rather low"? It is CLEAR he is having success! And quite frankly, avoiding the rodent's "profound suffering" from the baking soda method isn't a priority! A homeowner's "profound suffering" is what matters here, or perhaps YOU can adopt them ALL and have them live with you. 🤨
@@Energy-Alchemy actually it is a virtually instant kill. Soon as they ingest the bait with baking soda they die within hours after 1 feeding. BUT where's your data to suggest otherwise since this has such a low success rate to you, I guarantee you were not using baking soda with your low success rate method. Explain your reasoning behind "low success rate" compared to any other method this man has tried? Rats usually out smart traps etc but this works
@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 anyone can say they are are vet this woman has no clue what she's talking about on this subject nor is there any data that suggest that baking soda has a "low success rate" in fact if you watch videos or test it your self by catching a live rat and feeding it the mixture you'll see they die hours after eating it. Here's a quick video showing that kzhead.info/sun/lLN-gstrjpGVZWw/bejne.html
Thank you! I'm trying this asap. I've had one around my home for months. It has avoided everything I put out
Best of luck! I answer your questions and also offer solutions and products to repel rodents: kzhead.info/sun/gbmuoaWlfGOEeHA/bejne.html - and Huntavirus by CDC kzhead.info/sun/aMydo86dmYOwqoU/bejne.html. Thanks so much for watching.
I could almost hear the rat saying, "I'm ready for my close up Mr DeMille" 🤣😂🤣👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Nice.
Thanks you Mr Hanson see you soon
Thanks. Hope this works for you and those whom you know. I do not doubt this affects EVERYONE>
I used slurpee cup with the lid and put half cup bait, Graham cracker crumbs mixed with Baking Soda mix well and lay cup on it's side like a feeder. They eat, they bloat, they die.
That combination works too. kzhead.info/sun/i5aAfsVooomErXA/bejne.html
I tried the cornmeal and baking soda, with a bit of sugar, but got no takers except a raccoon. I'll try the other blends you suggested. Something has to work because they're undermining my veg gardens.
