On this page I'll show you how to use a simple DIY Method to Remove Both Rodents and Insects.
Rodents can be a problem worth solving.. they spread disease and can chew up your baseboards as well as not make your landlord so thrilled.
I live in a rather upscale place but by the lease the landlord won't pay for removing the mouse.
Mice have gotten resistance to traps.. they're getting smarter, they won't take the bait, and anyhow this is inhumane. Here I will discuss some cheap humane ways to remove mice.
Mice tend to come indoors in the winter time when they smell food cooking. They can't live outdoors in the winter time so they decide they want to like us!
Even so I tried traps and sticky traps and sealing up my food and putting it in a large galvanized trash can that cost me $75. I also tried sealing my water by spraying like dishwashing detergent in my sink and toilet so the mouse can't drink the water.
Here are some simple steps you can use to totally remove the mouse from your house.
Step one as I say chipmunk away your food..
The rodent problem in the tropics seems to be beyond comparison and we might wonder if they could just find good ways to seal away all the food this would solve it.
You may not have time to clean but there's a simple trick to do this without doing huge amounts of cleaning and that is to put your food in the refrigerator and seal up all the rest like in containers if needed.
Next put cinnamon and cayenne in a line across the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, this is unpleasant to mice..(You might want to put it in a special tray across the width of your refrigerator door inside the refrigerator so that it doesn't stain your shelving) it officially seals off your food from the mice especially combined with another trick and that is to turn down your air conditioner in the winter and this makes the mouse uncomfortable and they tend to leave.
But putting all or more or morsel of your food in the refrigerator, and by sealing access by way of the cayenne and cinnamon you now have a way to keep the mouse from getting much of your food. This also drives the mouse to the safe natural bait (CBS)..this itself only distresses the mouse and doesn't harm it, I'll be discussing the bait in a moment too.
Step two as I say you want to turn down the heat of your house if possible like in winter so the mouse is more uncomfortable but you're not. To do this and to be toasty and comfortable winter all the time and also save on heat you can use the methods I discuss in the link at the end of the page..
(most people spend $300 a year on winter clothes presumably year after year and this does not relate to satisfaction like these methods..)

Methods I use like memory foam coats of a special type and a microfiber wicking blanket base layer make it so winter is more like a wonderland.. these are special tricks and I had to go through like 39 tries to find the one that works, like Einstein said the first 99 times he gets it wrong and the hundredth time he gets it right, with a nice clean mice proof house we may help Einstein be refreshed!
Step Three
This is the real 100% step. A super cheap safe simple type of bait that doesn't hurt the mouse but makes it leave because the mouse can't resist the sugar in it.. once you've limited the mouse's access to your food and water then you want to give it something with real flavor like sugar.
To make the bait all you need are.. "Cornstarch Baking soda and Sugar.. CBS".
To make this bait use three tablespoons of cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of sugar and then one teaspoon of baking soda stirred in a medium-sized bowl, that's all you need. This is safe for the mouse and the pets and children and it's natural and cheap.
The value here is that the rodents can't resist the sugar and this also works for other issues like removing bugs but this may remove them somewhat more..( for this issue I highly recommend DE Diatomaceous Earth, this dramatically removes every single bug in your house except for gnats I found maybe they sail around in the air so they don't land on it. DE has super sharp small edges almost as sharp as a diamond made of silica and this will cause abrasion on the exoskeleton of any animal like a flea or a roach causing them to dehydrate. DE is also called the bug killer you can eat because all it is is mostly silica and is also highly useful as a wall cleaner if you use it safely. It doesn't take the wall off the paint or the paint off the wall!-like baking soda even though it has super sharp small edges so it removes all the stuff on top without removing the paint so it's much better.
Because I use it on my wall I think this is the main way that when flies sometimes come in my house they are stopped in a day. Perhaps just putting a small pinch in the corner wouldn't work as well like this.
While DE has had a long and safe history in agriculture it has some important cautions I discuss on the link..You don't want to get it in your eyes or in your nose.. this is especially important but if you take a small pinch of it and put it in the corner of your house where you're not getting the dust or getting it in your eyes this removes every single ant roach and presumably dust mites. If the spiders go you probably also have removed the dust mites because the spiders them and even if insects sail into your house when you open the door they soon stop in a day instead of having to wait like six days for them to go.
If you like Click Here for my post about DE and both the wondrous value but also the special cautions and how to use it more safely or see the same link at the end of this post if you like.)
The advantage of the CBS formula is it stops roaches or other bugs well by a different method and it also stops rodents because they can't resist the sugar and the baking soda combines with the cornstarch in their stomach this expands and gives them a stomach ache so they can't digest this or the food and they have to leave.
Combined with limiting your food source in the refrigerator with the cayenne and cinnamon and also perhaps turning down the heat of your house to save more heat and squeezy cheese this drives the mouse to the bait and the mouse knows you've won the mouse marathon..

While I don't own a cat it's actually the scent of the cat that removes mice but also I can imagine purr-fume that you could buy that does this without paying $200 a month for cat food. Even so research shows that feline felicity will reduce your risk of Heart attack or stroke by a third.. otherwise you have a pet rat who likes you and your neighbors a lot!
Finally an added boost to your defense might be to take some liquid melatonin and blend it in with the CBS formula.. melatonin has been used by millions, and while there are better ways to achieve sleep if you need it (like passion flower I use) because while melatonin does work really well for sleep it also causes low blood sugar which seems to make it "work too well". 50% of adults have blood sugar issues and 80% of seniors will have them also.
Melatonin brownies have been used by teens as a practical joke where the other teens at school eat the brownies and get so sleepy and zonked out they have to leave for college..
The super power to cause sleep may be a good reason to use some liquid or powdered melatonin blended in with your CBS formula.
Like the passing out this combined with the CBS formula where the mouse gets a real (though temporary and harmless) stomach ache, this may make the mouse really pass out and take notice!
As I say other methods can be expensive and not work..supposedly according to AI ultrasonic mouse removers are a sham.
One thing we might say is we're putting pressure on the mouse and the mouse is putting pressure on us, and even while the CBS formula is safe and harmless to pets or the mouse we've only loaded the mouse on someone else's step.
Mice spread disease and cause large scale damage to food crops in the tropics and we feel that we have to go or the mouse goes and it can't be both.
The best long-term solution I could think of that's the most humane to the mouse and the people both might be a method that's been tried of using carbon dioxide ice CO2 and putting it in the borough of the mice like in the city. This causes the mice to die a peaceful and painless death.
I think this could be computerized with small robots that go around where the mice are like outdoors in the tropics and has a small net on top of the drone that moves down and catches the mouse in the net and then applies the CO2..
Widespread use of the CBS formula method with the cayenne and cinnamon to form a barrier around the food might also be viable.
While the mice are evolving to resist poison and are outsmarting the traps in the tropics this method of the CBS formula combined with the smarter use of cinnamon and cayenne stuns the mouse harmlessly and doesn't change the mice genome, so the mice may not be able to evolve ways to get around it.
Combining this with the CO2 drones may also be more viable.
