- Powdered cement: about one cup. It should be dry and well sifted.
- Wheat flour: the same amount as cement, to achieve a homogeneous mixture.
- Sugar (optional): a tablespoon, to reinforce the attractiveness of the bait.
- Small containers: plastic lids, low plates or disposable trays where to place the mixture.
- A container of water: located near the bait, as it is essential for the method to work.
Step-by-step preparation
1. Mix the ingredients
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.
