In a dry bowl, combine equal parts of cement and flour. If you decide to add sugar, incorporate it at this time. Mix well with a wooden spoon or stick until you get a uniform, lump-free and light grayish powder. It is important to work with gloves and in a ventilated space to avoid inhaling cement dust.
2. Distribute the bait
Place small portions of the mixture in your chosen containers and place them in places where you’ve noticed rodent activity: behind appliances, in dark corners, near pantries, in garages, basements, backyards, or sheds. Rats usually move along walls, so these are strategic points.
3. Locate nearby water
This step is essential. Place a bowl of clean water a short distance from the bait. Without water available, the cement does not harden inside the animal’s body and the method loses effectiveness.
4. Wait and Watch
During the first few days, check the containers to verify if the mixture has been consumed. Replenish bait when needed and keep water always available. Results are usually noticeable over the course of a week, with a visible reduction in rodent activity.
