Can this common kitchen ingredient really take down a mouse infestation?We explore the science (or lack thereof) behind this home remedy—how it's supposed to work by causing gas buildup, why it's often mixed with bait, and the big reason it usually falls flat: mice just don’t eat enough of it. Plus, they can burp. Who knew?Join us as we separate fact from fiction and talk about what actually works—like sealing up entry points, cutting off food access, setting traps, and when it’s time to call in the pros.https://www.simplepest.com/rodents/is-baking-soda-an-effective-mouse-killer-heres-what-to-know/
