It is a common question among many people whether black pepper can effectively kill mice. While some may turn to natural remedies to address rodent issues, it is important to be aware of the fact that black pepper does not actually kill mice, but rather, it repels them for a certain period of time. The duration of this effect depends on the placement and potency of the pepper, as well as its preservation since many natural ingredients do have an expiry date that does have an effect on the efficacy.
