Flour & cement powder rat poison - queries

I've recently come across some articles that mention you can make your
own "non-toxic" rat/mouse posion by making a 50:50 mixture of regular/
corn flour and cement powder. They eat the mixture, then go in search
of water. Once they drink some water....game over. I have a few
specific questions, in relation to this D.I.Y. rat poison.

- How effective is this mixture at killing rats and/or mice?

- Assuming you place this mixture indoors (e.g. in the roof space),
will this poison ONLY take effect once the rodent goes outside for a
drink of water? The reason being, I'd want to avoid at-all-costs
having Ratty "snuff it" in my roof space, then having the most God-
awful smell to contend with a few days later.

- Is there anything that can be added to this mixture that would make
it extremely enticing to rats and/or mice? e.g. Powdered parmesan
cheese, sugar, salt, a little soy/fish sauce, some type of finely
chopped meat (raw or cooked)? I am just taking a wild guess here, as
I don't know what would attract them.

- Most of all, would tile grouting powder, used for bathroom tiling,
work just as well as cement powder in this D.I.Y. mixture?

I really would appreciate some advice. Thanks.

Never heard that one. But any bait poison runs the risk of the animal
dying somewhere in your house. In 99% of the cases the carcase just
dries up. Or flys find it and it gets eaten by maggots.

I agree. You take a chance with poison baits in the house. After
getting one bad stink a couple of years ago from a poisoned mouse, I now
use traps only.

I don't know about flour/cement but rats do not have a throwing up
reflex and once they eat something, it has to pass through their
digestive system where it may kill them.

bit later than usual but I saw a mice and I have to get rid of it. The point.
The instant they consume the mixture, they do realize something odd and just
like us, we want something to flush it down, so they search, i normally set a
container cause I am a nice rat killer. Yes you may put cheese and meat to
attract them, It is just an additional treat. Oh, the smell, get prepared, its
either you deal with the smell or you deal with leptustirosis. I choses smell.
I allow my pup to search and then we keep a memorial.

Yep. I find that D-Con works wonders and the animals don't smell for
some reason. I keep a bait box with it in the basement and find and
occasional dead mouse - never smelled one for many a year now.

The 'flour/cement' is an oldy home recipe. Just as enticing to pets
as it is to rodents. Needs to be in places the pets can't get to just
like any commercial poison.

Interesting. MY grandfather used D-Con around his place in the 50s.
After heavy rains the rats would head for a puddle of water to drink
and die. They did smell nasty I recall. Luckily they went outside to
drink.

If you have rodents in your attic then you are very remiss in sealing
their entry to your house... believe it or not it is quite easy to
eliminate entryways. Seal your house and if rodents are still present
set traps... they obviously have free roam of your entire house
because rodents cannot live without food and water... also eliminate
their access to your food... you are definitely feeding those critters
or they'd not be there.

Then if it worked why wouldnt someone be selling it. My dogs wont eat
cement I dont think a rat will. I use poison inside, traps are a pain.
The smell of a dead mose is gone in a week and so are all the mice.
With traps its a constant battle you dont know if you ever win. Do
both, traps and poison

Be careful of where you put the poison. I lost 2 cats last year to
poisoning, cats that were encouraged by neighbors, because they were
"mousers".

Keeps them clean and free of burrs, ticks, and fleas. Keeps them from
getting killed by cars, dogs, or cat haters, or being carried away by hawks.

Better that than a smelly cat box (and yes, they ALL do smell- the
owners are just desensitized), and a cat that starts trashing furniture
and becoming crazy and/or obese from lack of stimulation and exercise.
And before you say it, I consider declawing to be animal cruelty. How
would you like the last joint of all your fingers and toes cut off?

Sorry, 'indoor only' cats may live longer, but they aren't cats any
more. I could never do that to a sentient creature.

People who put house cats out can't possibly care about their pets any
more than people who put their five year olds out to play on the
freeway. Domesticated cats are not ferral, they have very few outdoor
survival skills if any. Most folks who are annoyed by their neighbors
pet cats will shoot them. .177 pellet guns make no noise and leave no
identifying traces.. more cats die from gun shot than from any other
cause. Anyone who puts a house cat out because they think they are
harming a sentient creature by keeping it indoors is a pinhead with a
lower IQ than any cat. And cats don't smell, not unless they are ill.
Exuding no odor is just one way how nature made felines one of the
best hunters on the planet, which is why they also bury their waste,
the only animal that does. Naturally the lazy bastards that don't
regularly clean the cat box are who smell, not the cat. Humans
smell... and I'm positive if I ever visited your terlits I'd about die
from the stench.

God, where to begin?

(1) Citation other than your backside, please. Can you name a study
supporting this view?

(2) Learn spelling and meaning of word before you use it.
Feral (F-E-R-A-L): in a wild state, esp. after escape from captivity or
domestication : a feral cat. Domesticated cats are not feral by
definition.

(3) The leading causes of death in cats: Feline diabetes, AIDS, and
Kidney failure.

(4) People will let a cat out, because that is where the cat wants to be.
I'm sure with exercise, you could grow up to be a pin-head yourself.

(5) "Exuding no odor is just one way how nature made felines one of the
best hunters on the planet."- Citation please to support this statement.

Cats have scent glands along the tail, on each side of their head, on
their lips, base of their tail, chin, near their sex organs, and between
their front paws. They use these glands to scent mark their territory.
When the cat rubs you, he is marking you with his scent, claiming you as
"his." Too, he is picking up your scent. Cats rub up against furniture
or doorways for the same reason - to mark the item as "his". (Urine
spraying is also a territorial marking, by the way.)

And keeps them from digging up the neighbor's freshly planted
veggies and pooping in their spinach.
I have to put screens over the beds whenever I plant because of
neighbor's uncontrolled cats.
Better that than a smelly cat box (and yes, they ALL do smell- the
owners are just desensitized), and a cat that starts trashing
furniture and becoming crazy and/or obese from lack of stimulation
and exercise. And before you say it, I consider declawing to be
animal cruelty. How would you like the last joint of all your fingers
and toes cut off?
Sorry, 'indoor only' cats may live longer, but they aren't cats any
more. I could never do that to a sentient creature.
But you have no hesitation to do a number on your neighbors with your cats.

People who put house cats out can't possibly care about their pets any
more than people who put their five year olds out to play on the
freeway.

Domesticated cats are not ferral, they have very few outdoor
survival skills if any.

Most folks who are annoyed by their neighbors
pet cats will shoot them. .177 pellet guns make no noise and leave no
identifying traces.. more cats die from gun shot than from any other
cause.

Anyone who puts a house cat out because they think they are
harming a sentient creature by keeping it indoors is a pinhead with a
lower IQ than any cat.

And cats don't smell, not unless they are ill.
Exuding no odor is just one way how nature made felines one of the
best hunters on the planet, which is why they also bury their waste,
the only animal that does.

Naturally the lazy bastards that don't
regularly clean the cat box are who smell, not the cat. Humans
smell... and I'm positive if I ever visited your terlits I'd about die
from the stench.
God, where to begin?
(1) Citation other than your backside, please. Can you name a study
supporting this view?
(2) Learn spelling and meaning of word before you use it.
Feral (F-E-R-A-L): in a wild state, esp. after escape from captivity or
domestication : a feral cat. Domesticated cats are not feral by
definition.
(3) The leading causes of death in cats: Feline diabetes, AIDS, and
Kidney failure.
(4) People will let a cat out, because that is where the cat wants to be.
I'm sure with exercise, you could grow up to be a pin-head yourself.
(5) "Exuding no odor is just one way how nature made felines one of the
best hunters on the planet."- Citation please to support this statement.
Cats have scent glands along the tail, on each side of their head, on
their lips, base of their tail, chin, near their sex organs, and between
their front paws. They use these glands to scent mark their territory.
When the cat rubs you, he is marking you with his scent, claiming you as
"his." Too, he is picking up your scent. Cats rub up against furniture
or doorways for the same reason - to mark the item as "his". (Urine
spraying is also a territorial marking, by the way.)
<http://www.xmission.com/~emailbox/whycat.htm>
In feral cat colonies, subordinate cats cover their waste, while
dominant ferals leave it conspicuously uncovered. Most indoor cats bury
their waste, possibly to display subordination to their humans.
Sometimes in multi-cat households, however, the dominant cat will leave
waste uncovered to indicate his status.

Unfortunately, 4 years ago, Brooklyn1 attacked and killed someone because he mistakenly thought the person had mistreated and killed a cat. Brooklyn1 is now on death row. His 34 cats and 265 gerbils really miss him. o_O

Hell, I've got nothing else to do sitting in this hospital bed. My wound care nurse just left the room after changing the bandage on my leg. I'm told the doctor will be coming by Friday and I'll ask for my knee brace to be returned so I can get up in a walker and start building up my leg muscles. If I can get walking, I can go home. o_O

I just measured 16.6 down and 4.31 up and it's faster than What I have at home which is 12/1.5 cable Internet service. The hospital I use is crazy fast where I often see 40 to 50 down and 50 to 60 up. I wondered why I always see upload speeds higher than download speeds and I think it's because they have a symmetrical Internet access and there is more of a load on the download side of the service. 8-)

If I ever catch up with one of the IT guys at the hospital I'll ask him/her/it about the Internet service at the hospital. It's probably a fiber optic connection like a lot of large data intensive organizations have. I could actually be split up into partitions with the download part of the public access section being used for digital TV like we have here at the rehab center. My roommate here is transported to the VA hospital 3 times a week for dialysis and the same Cisco remote for the digital TV works there the same as here. I'm guessing that Cisco produces a digital TV system for institutions. 8-)

We bought a house last year and the previous owner put rat poison EVERYWHERE.
We are still finding packets tucked in corners of the house, and we are still
finding dead rats on the property (we live on 5 acres in the forest). We are
against the use of poisons because of the collateral damage such as pets.
Earlier this year we found the most gorgeous fox dead on our spring box -- it
was in search of water and likely died from eating a poisoned rat. If we
poison the rats and mice, we poison the beautiful forest we live in. Traps are
the way to go, if you must, but sealing up the house is the best option.

You should see what a rat trap does to a mouse. The look on the face
of the little mouse conveys extreme surprise and shocked disbelief
after the bar crushes its little backside. The last ultrasonic squeak
of WTF in mouse-speak is frozen in its tiny countenance forever or
until it is consumed by other smaller vermin or it desiccates and
eventually turns to dust. :-)

Back in the early 70's I had a handlebar on a Honda 750 snap off at
100mph. I hitched a ride to the emergency room and when I walked in,
a nurse rushed up to me and exclaimed "Oh my God you had a motorcycle
accident!" I answered "No lady I fell out of an airplane." She said
"Well come over here and fill out this paperwork." I was standing
there with blood dripping off the end of my fingers, my clothes were
tattered and bloody and my helmet looked like it had been pushed up
against a big grinding wheel at various angles. Another nurse walked
up and said to the first nurse "Shut up, put him in there." It was one
of the more interesting experiences in my life. :-)

his neck. No insurance or any papers.
The ER nurse exclaims:  "You have to tell us what is wrong."
Back in the early 70's I had a handlebar on a Honda 750 snap off at
100mph. I hitched a ride to the emergency room and when I walked in,
a nurse rushed up to me and exclaimed "Oh my God you had a motorcycle
accident!" I answered "No lady I fell out of an airplane." She said
"Well come over here and fill out this paperwork." I was standing
there with blood dripping off the end of my fingers, my clothes were
tattered and bloody and my helmet looked like it had been pushed up
against a big grinding wheel at various angles. Another nurse walked
up and said to the first nurse "Shut up, put him in there." It was one
of the more interesting experiences in my life. :-)

A quick snap of the neck seems more humane to me.
Being "humane" is the reason I will never, ever use a 'glue trap'
again. One time was enough to turn my stomach.

You should see what a rat trap does to a mouse. The look on the face
of the little mouse conveys extreme surprise and shocked disbelief
after the bar crushes its little backside. The last ultrasonic squeak
of WTF in mouse-speak is frozen in its tiny countenance forever or
until it is consumed by other smaller vermin or it desiccates and
eventually turns to dust. :-)

In a fairly routine I would take individuals in the ER. The nurses
constantly would ask "what is wrong with him?"

Finely after getting a case of the ass, blurting out -- "this one has
4 - 6 stab wounds in his chest ... red foam is gurgling from his
chest... he ran out of air or is about to."

Then I told her to stabilize him and we can get 'em to "Danville".

I've recently come across some articles that mention you can make your
own "non-toxic" rat/mouse posion by making a 50:50 mixture of regular/
corn flour and cement powder.  They eat the mixture, then go in search
of water.  Once they drink some water....game over.  I have a few
specific questions, in relation to this D.I.Y. rat poison.
- How effective is this mixture at killing rats and/or mice?
- Assuming you place this mixture indoors (e.g. in the roof space),
will this poison ONLY take effect once the rodent goes outside for a
drink of water?  The reason being, I'd want to avoid at-all-costs
having Ratty "snuff it" in my roof space, then having the most God-
awful smell to contend with a few days later.
- Is there anything that can be added to this mixture that would make
it extremely enticing to rats and/or mice?  e.g. Powdered parmesan
cheese, sugar, salt, a little soy/fish sauce, some type of finely
chopped meat (raw or cooked)?  I am just taking a wild guess here, as
I don't know what would attract them.
- Most of all, would tile grouting powder, used for bathroom tiling,
work just as well as cement powder in this D.I.Y. mixture?
I really would appreciate some advice.  Thanks.
Quite a lot of replies, but I am hoping someone can actually respond
specifically to my queries. Where I may place a flour/cement mix,
there would be no other animals, only rats or mice. Totally sealing
up the roofspace 100% is not a viable option at the moment.

WORKS VERY VERY WELL. old farm trick to save your cats and dogs from
poison. I use about 25% CEMENT OR GROUT . MICE DONT SMELL WHEN DEAD AAS
THERE IS LIME IN THE CEMENT.

Rats and mice do not have a mechanism for throwing up. I've seen them
tested for poisons and stuff can be funneled down their throats but they
cannot throw it up. A pet would probably throw up something bothering them.

I think rats and mice will also lick powder off their feet and DDT used
to be used as a rodent poison by sprinkling their travel routes.

I got rid of all the mice and rats that infested this old farmstead. Kept packets of D-Con placed where pets couldn't get at them. Still keep them placed around and in the house, the engine compaartment inthe truck and in the trunk and cabin of the cars.

Nice thing about D-Con is that the victims do not smell, a minor musty/mousy odor for a day or two is all there is even if they die in the house.

I'd like to try this out on roof rats. I have one of these empty bromadiolone containers. The hole is supposed to be small enough to keep squirrels, etc., out.

Cylinder is 14-in long, 4-1/2-in OD with one 1-7/8-in dia hole in one end, cut offcenter, near the left side. It has two semicircular pieces of thin metal with a 1-7/8-in hold cut in each one that lines up with the main opening. They cylinders are laid on the side, with the opening at the left side.

I have never understood why, if someone wants or needs to kill small
rodents, they don't simply go to the hardware or farm store and buy the
proper product. Surely their time wasted in compounding and deploying some
voodoo mixture which may or may not work effectively must be worth something.

Rats and mice are highly intelligent rodents. They are natural students
who excel at learning and understanding concepts. Rats are considerably
smaller than dogs, but they are at least as capable of thinking about
things and figuring them out as dogs are!

This is one of the most disturbing ideas I have heard in a long time. What an
incredibly slow and painful way to die. This is beyond cruel. Have you given
any thought to what you are considering? Perhaps the novel idea was funny at
first? This is demented.

Anyone who delights in deliberately making any animal suffer, by
definition they have psychopathic traits.
Kill vermin by all means, but make it as quick and painless as possible.
Rats and mice are not sentient beings, just like spiders I don't care
what happens to them. You do realise that the LEGAL Rentokill poison
dehydrates them and they die slowly and painfully over 3 days?
Rats and mice are highly intelligent rodents. They are natural students
who excel at learning and understanding concepts. Rats are considerably
smaller than dogs, but they are at least as capable of thinking about
things and figuring them out as dogs are!

You've quoted PETA, you lose the argument immediately. They're a fucked up over the top organisation like Greenpeace.

Rats cause disease. They enter my house without permission. Therefore they die.

How many of the cute fuzzy little vermin have you invited into your home to feed and care for? It's the right thing to do. ^_^

I find this absurd coming from a non-vegetarian. Death is a million times worse than torture. Wouldn't you rather be tortured for 3 days and live, than be killed instantly? Hint: the first one means you get to keep your life.

Explain your side of the argument and answer the simple question I posed you.

An elderly man was stopped by the police around 2 a.m and was asked where he was going at that time of night.
The man replied, "I'm on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late."
The officer then said, "Really? Who's giving that lecture at this time of night?"
The man replied, "That would be my wife."

Vermin carry disease, contaminate and spoil foodstuffs. Have you forgotten the plagues that decimated Europe centuries ago? Do you give cockroaches a hug before you step on them? There are also human vermin invading your country. Those human vermin don't think twice about murdering children in a school by setting off a bomb or getting a large vehicle and running down pedestrians yet your government is welcoming them with open arms. You control vermin by killing them by whatever means at your disposal then tou smile about it. o_O

It's so good that the rats have an advocate like you to protect them from
harm. It's clear that NO ONE cares of the suffering of rats.

You should totally pay a lot of money and run TV ads.

"All over the world rats are suffering"

"The poor helpless animals are tricked into eating toxic substances"
[picture of dehydrated dead rat]

"Their babies left helpless in the nest"

"Don't let their suffering continue, donate to Save the Fucking Rats
TODAY!"
