Different way of doing the deed , will it work??

I have read a lot about using CO2 to put down rats & mice. Sounds relatively humane, you are basically suffocating them quickly. The cervical dislocation is probably quicker and more painless if you don’t have many to do and have the stomach for it.J The problem I have is that I can’t get dry ice locally, so I was wondering if putting the rodents in a vacuum to suffocate them would be just as effective. I could do this by putting them in a pail hooked up to a vacuum generator (Venturi style) and suck all the air out. Should be the same effect as replacing the air with CO2. Just looking for some feedback, has anyone ever tried this or heard of it being done?
