  1. Baking soda and honey cornbread mixed equal parts will kill rodents because they cannot burp or fart the mixture reacts to their sto ach a ID and because your dog's and cat can, it won't harm them even if they Injest the rodent

  3. I just did this last week put the can to high in the pail put peanut butter all over the can the 🐭 had a feast I will lower the can in the pail and see what happens.

  5. Love it. We named our PBR trap the Stairway to Hell and wrote that on the plank leading up to the top of the bucket.

  6. I am doing these. But, I have to confess that doing so will make me feel bad. PS; more shots of your dog would be nice. He/she makes me smile. I love Border Collies.

  8. Put an Anti-freeze same mixture as your radiator in the bucket then the mice die sooner rather than spend, sometimes, days, swimming in the water. It is HUMANE
