In this episode of Pest Talk: The Buzz on Bugs, Mark Buzz and Anna Bugs take a closer look at one of the internet’s favorite DIY mouse control hacks: baking soda. Can this common kitchen ingredient really take down a mouse infestation?

We explore the science (or lack thereof) behind this home remedy—how it's supposed to work by causing gas buildup, why it's often mixed with bait, and the big reason it usually falls flat: mice just don’t eat enough of it. Plus, they can burp. Who knew?

Join us as we separate fact from fiction and talk about what actually works—like sealing up entry points, cutting off food access, setting traps, and when it’s time to call in the pros.
