Absence of components that act as poison
Rodents have developed remarkable resistance to many substances, and their digestive systems are adapted to process a wide range of foods. For a substance to act as a poison, it must contain specific compounds that interfere with its biological functions in a lethal way. Potatoes simply do not contain such components.
Relying on a method without a proven toxic agent is a recipe for failure. Effective rodent control methods rely on rodenticides or physical mechanisms that guarantee their elimination or capture.
No proven effect of its elimination
Despite its popularity on social media, there is no scientific study, empirical evidence, or testimony from pest control professionals to support the effectiveness of potatoes as a method for eradicating mice. It is an unfounded theory that has spread unchecked, often fueled by the curiosity generated by viral videos.
