Rats are unwanted visitors (known as pests)they
are notable scourge for mankind throughout all of recorded history.
. These nasty beasts are responsible for
countless human deaths and the destruction of vast quantities of human
foodstuffs worldwide over many centuries. Present day rats are no less
dangerous, certainly unwelcome in our homes. You can make your own rat poison
using ingredients you probably already have in your homes. They are inexpensive
and readily available in our market. They
work on rats, however, by
either hardening or producing gas in the animals' digestive tracts. Since rats
can't pass wind, they expire from internal combustion produced by gas, or by
retaining hardened substances that they can't pass.
There
are different types of rat poison, these include
·
Boric acid poison
·
Soda poison
·
Plaster of paris poison
·
Soft drinks poison
Boric
acid poison
Materials needed
Disposable gloves, boric acid,
chicken broth.
Step 1
Put on your disposable gloves to
avoid skin irritation. Put 1 cup of boric acid into a bowl. Begin adding
chicken broth to the boric acid, about a 1/2 tsp. at a time. Stir very well
after each addition, until you have a thick paste that's no longer easily
stirred. If it's too thin, just add a little more boric acid. The odor of the
broth will attract the rats, which will eventually die from consuming the boric
acid.
Step
2
Roll the paste into balls about the
size of a marble.
Step
3
Place in areas where you have seen
rat droppings, which are places that they are the most likely to reappear.
Step
4
Watch
the areas for the cessation of droppings, or for the appearance of dead rats.
Plaster
of paris poison
Step 1
Put
on your disposable gloves. Combine 1 cup each of flour or cornmeal, sugar mix
and plaster of Paris. Blend the mixture very well. The smell of the sugar will
attract the rats and they will eat the bait. Consuming the plaster of Paris will
kill them when it combines with fluids and hardens in their gastrointestinal
tracts.
Step
2
Spoon
enough of the mixture into jar lids to fill them about halfway.
Step
3
Place
the lids in areas of your home where you've noticed rat traffic, particularly
where you've found droppings.
Step
4
Watch
the areas carefully for dead rat.
Soft
drinks poison
Do you have a problem with mice or rats and
wish you could use any assortment of pesticide type products but are afraid of
the risks to your children or pets? I have the answer for you! So Soft drinks
poison
Things
you’ll Need:
- Pepsi or Coke
Step 1
Mice and
rats lack the ability to burp. You can use this to your advantage - and the
demise of the rats and mice.
Step 2
Pour
Pepsi or Coke into a shallow dish. Disposable dishes are best. You will not
want to reuse this container for anything later. Mice and rats carry an
assortment of diseases.
Step 3
Place
dish near where the mice or rats are entering/exiting your home frequently.
Look for their feces if you haven't seen the mice and rats entering or exiting
first hand. It is best to do this at night.
Step 4
The
rodents will drink the sweet soft drink and later, when they can't burp, they
will die. Yes, this may sound cruel but it is safer than poison which can harm
children and pets. It is also less cruel than sticky mouse traps. And let's
face it, poisons are no less cruel.
Tips & Warnings
- Once ridding your home of rat, take steps to avoid a repeat performance. Rats will eat almost anything, so clean any loose foodstuffs out of your cabinets. Remove foods from boxes and place them into sealed plastic bags or containers instead. Locate and close any holes or openings in your home where rats may have been gaining access to the interior.
Almost any substance that can kill a wild rat is
highly toxic to humans and household pets. Use the utmost caution when placing
rat poisons in areas accessible to children or pets. Do not approach or try to touch a wild
rat. Don't try to make friends with a wild rat that has invaded your home.
While many domesticated rats are kept as pets, the fierceness has been bred out
of them. Wild rats are vicious and aggressive, and not the least bit interested
in being your buddy. Never capture and feed wild rats to your pet reptiles.
They carry many diseases and parasites, and could prove to be deadly dinners.
If a live wild rat is offered to a reptile, your pet is in grave danger of being
seriously injured or killed.
