Effective homemade rat poison that cost next to nothing. As always for those who don’t like to read you can find a video below.

To make this method of rat poison measure out 1 part oatmeal to 1 part plaster of Paris and place in a mixing container while adding and generous amount of sugar. Add enough water to create a doughy consistency. Roll the dough into golf ball-sized balls and place them in locations where you have seen mice or rats.
The poison works over time. As it is consumed the plaster of Paris settles in the rodents stomach without being digested. Over days the rodent will continue to feed from the poisonous balls until enough of it builds up into the system to kill it. It’s not a Humane death, but then again what methods are? Never have the poison in a position to where children or pets can come in contact with it.
The biggest pro to this besides the cost is that commercial rat poison is very dangerous when stored unused to small children and pets. This do-it-yourself poison when stored unused is simply some oatmeal, sugar and plaster of Paris. Using this on a daily basis (like traditional poison) will eventually eliminate your infection problem and save you a pretty penny in the process.

I once used poison for mice then got a very bad smell in the house. had to tear up my floor to find 3 dead mice. now I use traps. also there is a site on line where a guy goes to the patent office and finds old home made traps that are really effective.
