    Two questions about using predator urine to deter rodents

    No food is stored outdoors, we keep it in the house. The coop feeders are removed at dusk and also brought indoors. Those are on concrete so it's easy to sweep up any spilled food. The extant rodent populations established themselves long before we got here, when the house sat empty for a few...

    Has anyone successfully used baking soda to reduce or eliminate a rodent infestation?

    Pee goals... this is my life now. Coyotes eat squirrels and other rodents, their urine is supposed to be a signal to move on because a predator is in the area.

    Has anyone successfully used baking soda to reduce or eliminate a rodent infestation?

    I keep reading that baking soda will kill squirrels and other rodents, mixed with equal parts of cornmeal as an attractant. Has anyone here had success doing this? It seems too easy to be true.

    Two questions about using predator urine to deter rodents

    1. If you buy predator urine online, how do you know that's really what you're getting? I imagine it's not easy to farm coyote or fox urine. How can you be sure the urine you buy is from a predator and not another animal (or a human - yuck)? 2. If it's legit predator urine, are chickens aware...

    Good questions. I didn't take it, it looks like it was done with a selfie stick in a Tucson backyard.
