Will carbonated drinks make a mouse blow up? Im having a mouse problem in my kitchen!?

I have a mouse loose and I heard carbonated drinks will make a mouse blow up? Has anyone tried this and what were the results? I have set traps but I think the mouse is smarter than I give him credit for!

    Set out trays of uncooked rice. The mice love it, they eat it, then in digestion it swells up and kills the mouse. A little sadistic, but it works.

    Plus, it is not sugary, and will not attract ants and other unwanted vermin.

    Further, a humane way would be to set out the glue type of traps.

    I've tried the glue traps they do not work, I got some traps, set them up under the sink, under the stove, and under the fridge. Use cheese, this does really work, and just don't place the cheese on the trap, you actually have to mush it into the tiny cavity they have on these traps, it's a little tiny hole. You want the mouse to work for it's ahem last meal. because then " SNAP" it will happen. It worked for me brilliantly. they love to come out at night time, and the quicker you catch these vermin, the less likely you will have more, also yes check everything around the house, take the expanding spray foam. and inject all areas as small as a dime. 'Good Luck'

    area of the priority is this climate. The mice are attracted to human dwellings to get out of the chilly, no longer because your position is grimy. D-Con mouse poison is fantastically low-priced and efficient. Its unlike a "one chew and they drop lifeless" element, they devour it and carry extra decrease back out to everywhere their nest is, so the different mice living with them will die besides. i have used it to kill mice and not in any respect had an issue with scent, as they frequently did not stay contained in the homestead and were merely coming in for nutrition and warm temperature. I quite doubt that they're going to spray for mice, they're going to likely placed out a poison in pellet variety a twin of the D-Con. in case your leasing place of work is going to pay to have it performed (and they ought to, in case you're keeping a sparkling position then its their duty to save it pest loose), then via all skill provide them a danger to preserve it. don't be scared, even the biggest mice are lower than 2% of your length, they're way extra frightened of you than you're of them. save your nutrition thoroughly out of their attain and boxes closed, and word if the exterminators deal with to get the pastime performed.

    Let me share this with you .

    YOU DO NOT WANT ANIMALS DYING IN YOUR ATTIC OR YOUR WALLS. IT WILL STINK.

    Use the sticky traps. They do a good job. Plus go around the outside of your house and caulk any small openings closed.

    Be sure to check the eves, for any openings.

    They go up trees, onto the roof and into any openings they can find.

    Good Luck.

    No they won't blow up. It doesn't effect you that way, other than perhaps burping.

    Mouse traps (conventional) work best. Bait them with peanut butter.

    But you really have to plug the openings where they are getting in. They can squeeze though some awfully small cracks and holes.

    Bait your trap with peanut butter. For God`s sake..don`t give him a drink or he`ll want a cookie to go with it. lol..Stick with the trap because if you poison it and it goes somewhere to die..it could end up between your walls. Phew..
