Another point in favor is that it does not generate resistance in rodent populations, an increasingly common problem with commercial poisons, whose active ingredients have lost effectiveness over time due to repeated use.
Complementary measures for pest control
No single method is fully effective without being accompanied by good hygiene and prevention practices. To reduce the chance of rats returning, it is advisable to:
- Seal cracks, holes, and openings in walls, ceilings, and pipes where they can enter.
- Store food in airtight containers.
- Keep garbage in closed bins and remove it regularly.
- Remove accumulations of cardboard, wood or debris that serve as shelter.
- Keep the yard and garden tidy, avoiding excessive weeds.
The combination of cement and flour has become popular as a practical and economical alternative to control the presence of rodents in the home. Although its effectiveness can vary depending on the level of infestation and environmental conditions, many people report satisfactory results when applied correctly and accompanied by appropriate preventive measures.
