How to Prepare the Rice and Baking Soda Mixture
What You’ll Need:
- 1 cup of uncooked white rice
- ½ cup of baking soda
- A few drops of vanilla extract (optional, to increase attraction)
Instructions:
- Grind the Rice: Use a blender or food processor to grind the rice into smaller pieces—this makes it easier for mice to eat.
- Mix Thoroughly: Combine the ground rice with baking soda in a bowl.
- Enhance the Scent (Optional): Add a few drops of vanilla extract to the mixture for extra attraction.
- Place in Strategic Locations: Pour small amounts of the mixture into shallow dishes or lids and place them in the corners of your home, near walls, behind appliances, and anywhere you’ve noticed mouse activity.
Additional Tips for Maximum Effectiveness
- Seal Entry Points – While this method will drive mice away, it’s essential to seal any gaps or holes they may use to enter your home.
- Remove Food Sources – Mice won’t be as tempted by this mixture if other food sources (like crumbs or pet food) are easily accessible.
- Replace the Mixture Regularly – Refresh the mixture every few days to keep it potent and effective.
Why This Is a Better Alternative to Chemical Repellents
Using commercial poisons and traps may seem effective, but they come with risks:
Safer for Pets & Kids – No risk of accidental poisoning. Environmentally Friendly – No toxic residues left in your home. No Dead Mice in Hidden Spots – Mice will leave your house rather than dying in inaccessible places, preventing bad odors.
