DIY Rat Poison

To avoid these kinds of damage and diseases, you must always stay vigilant and alert to any sign of rat infestation. A simple sign should alarm you and push you to take immediate action. Luckily, experts have studied several DIY poisons for rats. This includes Boric Acid, Plaster of Paris Poison, and Baking Soda Poison.

Most of us might have heard about the first two poisons to be effective. But some of us are still skeptic about the baking soda as a form of rat poison. Maybe the reason why it hasn’t been effective for you is the lack of knowledge on how to use it as a rat poison. If your idea of using baking soda is just spreading it on the floor and waiting for rats to eat it, you must rethink your methods.

To use baking soda as rat poison, you need to follow certain steps for it to work:

1. The first one to do is to put on disposable gloves. You must make sure that you do not touch any of the chemicals and substances you use during the process. You would not want to be harmed by its contents.

2. The second step is to combine one cup of flour or cornmeal with 1 cup of sugar or powdered chocolate mix.

3. Then add 1 cup of baking soda and mix it thoroughly. The chocolate mix or the sugar attracts the rats to eat it and the baking soda will soon kill them once it has been consumed.

4. There are many ways to place this trap. You could use unused Tupperware, jar lids, or any other container to put the baking soda poison.

5. But to target these rats where it hurts them the most, you need to put the poison to places where they are most active. You can put it around your garbage bin, or in the unused and dark places in your home where these rats hide. You can also put some around the drainage areas outside your home to target these rats before they start to come inside.

6. After you have left the poison overnight, monitor these places until you no longer see any sign of rat infestation. From there, you can assess if the baking soda poison is effective in killing rats. However, if you still see signs of infestation, try to move the traps around to figure out the rats’ hiding spot. This can help you eradicate them completely out of your environment.

I have had the same problem during my stay in Cornelius, North Carolina. However, I cannot quite know how it worked until I did my research. It turns out that baking soda catalyzes some form of reaction inside the rat’s stomach. Baking soda combines with the stomach acids to produce carbon dioxide gas which rats are unable to tolerate. In turn, it builds up within their system and eventually causes internal blockage and rupture. Soon enough, you will have the rat-free environment you always deserved.
