Default 'Gassing' mice bicarb or baking?

Hi guys, just a quick question, When 'gassing' mice with vinegar can you use bicarbonate of soda? or do you have to use baking soda?
Cheers Nick

Its the same thing.
one thing i do though is mix the vinegar with lemon juice in equal amounts,seems to work better for me.
i also give the rats a soak in water after they are dead and before i freeze them,takes the smell of the vinegar off them.
i use a rodent reaper for mine.

yeah cheers mate, just thought i'd check. I tried getting a rodent reaper but the woman wouldn't reply to any e-mails or messages so am left doing my own version!
Cheers

yep,,she`s not on here very often.
i think i was lucky catching her when i did,i have used it 3 times so far and it has paid for itself allready.
as long as you get the amounts of soda/vinegar right you cant go wrong.

here is a link to kellys homepage to see if it helps

mixing baking powder and vinegar produces co2.
When done in an enclosed space(rodent reaper) with the correct mix,
it dispatches the feeder mice/rats quickly and easily.
