Burning below-ground plant parts and damaging and destroying internal fluids and tissues are ways that lye kills weeds. The herbicide in question (sodium hydroxide) raises soil pH levels to unsustainable ranges of 13 or 14 on a scale of 0 to 14, where many plants hover between 5.5 and 7.0. It will require personal protective equipment, from head to foot, by its user and surveillance of immediate and subsequent effects since lye damages and destroys everyone and everything in the immediate area of application.

Does lye kill mice?
If a mouse injests lye, it will usually kill it. Lye is a strong caustic and it doesn't take a lot of it to cause severe damage to the mucus membranes (think throat, stomach and intestines) and other sensitive tissues of living organisms. That's one reason lye soap is pretty effective as a disinfectant.
