Safety recommendations
Although this method does not use traditional poisons, it is essential to take precautions to avoid accidents:
- Keep the mixture completely out of the reach of children and household pets, such as dogs, cats or birds.
- Label containers or place them in restricted access areas.
- Wear gloves during preparation and avoid inhaling cement dust.
- Wash your hands thoroughly after handling the ingredients.
- If you find dead rodents, handle them with gloves and dispose of them in closed bags.
Advantages over trading methods
This at-home method has several significant advantages. First, their cost is significantly lower than that of industrial rodenticides. In addition, it does not release toxic fumes or persistent chemical residues into the home. It is also accessible, since most people have flour in the kitchen and cement is easily available in any hardware store or corralón.
