In the stomach, gypsum hardens, along with it all the insides. Poison harmless to pets causes inevitable death in rodents.

   Instead of flour with water, you can use milk. In it, gypsum is bred to a state of sour cream. In the stomach, fluid is absorbed by the tissues, gypsum hardens, clogs the intestines.

2. Quicklime.To make the product, mix in equal proportions with sugar, cat food. In the stomach, the poisonous mixture turns into acid, corrodes the walls of the esophagus. Such effective remedy for rats capable of killing in a day.
3. Cork powder. If you have the habit of storing corks from wine, you can make poison for mice. Rodents eat her with great appetite, because it smells great to them. The manufacture of poison at home is carried out in two ways. The cork is turned into powder, mixed with flour, sugar. Cork crumble into small pieces, fry in lard. In the stomach, the product swells, greatly deforms the internal organs, and causes suffocation.
4. Baking soda. You can prepare poison for mice without leaving the kitchen. Mix 100 g of sugar, flour, add 150 g of soda. Soda in the intestines causes excessive gas formation. This situation brings inconvenience to people, and death to rodents. Harassment can continue constantly, the mixture does not lose its properties upon prolonged exposure to the surface, and is not dangerous for people and pets.
