Rats-To Drive Away Alive
If you choose
to drive them away alive, take potash pulverized and put quite plenty
of it into all their holes about the house. If the potash is pulverized
and left in the air, it becomes pasty. Then it can be daubed o the
boards or planks where they come through into the rooms. They will
sooner leave than be obliged to have a continual re-application
of this “Doctor Stuff” every time they go through their
holes.
Scotch snuff
or pulverized cayenne pepper mixed together or separate if freely
put into their burrowing holes will certainly send them off at a
sneezing pace.
