2. Place the balls into tight crevices or areas where the rat frequently passes through.
It's very important to wear disposable gloves anytime you are mixing or molding the poison with your hands. Firstly, the gloves will hide your scent in the poison that you concoct - rats would be tipped off otherwise. secondly, it helps you avoid poisoning yourself.


3. Plaster of Paris













1. Mix a 1/4 pound of Plaster of Paris with 1/4 pound of cornmeal in a large bowl (Plaster of Paris can be bought at most craft stores and hardware stores. it is a dry powder made of gypsum that, when mixed with a liquid, thickens and eventually hardens.)
2. Add 1-2 cups of milk, feel free to add more milk if clumps of cornmeal in the Plaster of Paris is still dry.
3. Knead the dough with your hands for an even consistency. Make 1-2 inch little dough balls. 
4. Place the balls into tight crevices or areas where the rat frequently passes through.

How does the Plaster of Paris works?

If the rat eats the gypsum poison, it will harden inside their stomach. Eventually the death.
