There is no specific food that can kill mice instantly. However, food can be used as bait or as part of a poison for extermination purposes. Mice are naturally attracted to fruits, grains, and seeds, so these raw ingredients can be used on top of processed human food as bait. Foods with strong salty or sweet smells can also make bait or poison more enticing. Here are some ways to use food to eliminate mice:
-
Traps: Food can be used as bait for traps. Traditional snap traps, glue boards, and sticky traps are some of the different kinds of traps that can be used.
-
Poison: Food can be used as part of a poison for mice. Instant mashed potato flakes, Nutrasweet/Equal, and zinc are some of the foods that can be mixed with other bait to create a poison. However, it is important to note that poisoning mice can be dangerous for pets and young children, and should be done with caution.
It is important to remember that mice are opportunistic feeders and will eat anything they can find. Therefore, it is recommended to starve them by removing all food sources.
