Guest guest Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 How to Use Soft Drinks To Kill Mice and Rats If you have a problem with mice or rats, one way to get rid of them is with soda pop, eliminating rat poison around your house and poison contributions in ground water. Mice and rats lack the ability to burp. You can use this to your advantage. Simply pour Pepsi or Coke into a shallow dish, and place the dish near where the mice or rats are entering your home. The rodents will drink the sweet soft drink and later, when they can't burp, they will die. Right next to walls usually works best for any type of bait or traps, as does under sinks, where they may like to hide out, or underneath your stove. As the carbonation only lasts just so long, you will need to keep that in mind and refill your dish accordingly. Try putting a new dish down each night before bed.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Just my two cents: As annoying as these pests are, I just can't support killing them, and especially in such an inhumane way! No animal should suffer til it dies - good grief, what kind of monsters are we? Let's just hire the professionals that trap them and turn them loose in the empty fields out in the countryside where no one lives. PLEASE PEOPLE, HAVE A HEART! Now don't bash me for this post okay? We're allowed to say what we feel right? I'm not trying to cause drama, I'm just putting my opinion out there. If you disagree, fine.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Yes I quite agree with you - I do have little " house " traps where I release them elsewhere but sometimes it gets a bit much with so many mice - but i have no desire to kill them either Jane - " Marcie Jones " <marciesaysimsmart Just my two cents: As annoying as these pests are, I just can't support killing them, and especially in such an inhumane way!
