Remember the "bait boxes" that someone was once promoting? The bait was laced with doxycycline so mice could eat the doxy and kill the Lyme disease.
Of course WE couldn't get antibiotic treatment, but they were willing to put it out all over the place for rodents to eat. Go figure! Anyhow...
What if Stevia was used in the bait boxes rather than Doxy? Think about it. Kills all forms of Lyme, no side effects, all natural product (a plant), etc.
And if it killed the mice in the process, I for one wouldn't cry too much if the box was inside the house.
Of course we'd have to train the mice to open up those tiny little envelopes the sweeter comes in, but it COULD be a plan.
