Here is a Youtube video I just made to show how to make a cheap rat gas chamber. Let me know what you think.

I still prefer the vinegar and baking soda method. There is no crushing and juggling of dry ice, no searching what grocery stores around here have it, and no potential of creating the equivalent of the "dry-ice bomb". Same set up as that, but larger bottle, eight teaspoons of baking soda and two cups of vinegar.

(8-2 bakingsoda and viegar)- I did not know this and it sounds very easy. Thanks for the info.

Not bad and certainly cheap. A good small scale alternative.

But for about $250 you can go to a welding supply and get a 20# cylinder of CO2(carbon dioxide) with a hose and regulator valve. I get my tank refilled about once a year for approx $24 and I can put down hundreds of rodents during that year with less work. Tubing from the cylinder goes to a valve placed in lid of blanket rubbermaid box with no holes in it. The regulator gauge tells me how much gas is left in the tank. I can do 20-40 large rats or anything else in about 6-8 minutes. Quick, efficient and no fooling with dry ice. Then I can vacuum seal anything I want to freeze for use later.
