Dealing with rats and cockroaches doesn’t have to involve harsh chemicals or expensive treatments. You can manage these unwanted pests using a simple household item—rice—combined with other easily available ingredients.
This natural remedy is budget-friendly and environmentally conscious, helping reduce reliance on commercial pesticides that may pose risks to people and pets.
The method uses uncooked rice mixed with plaster powder (also known as white cement or lime). When consumed, this mixture can be fatal to both rodents and cockroaches.
How to Prepare the Mixture
-
Mix equal parts finely ground raw rice and plaster powder.
-
Place small portions of the mixture into bottle caps or shallow containers.
How to Use It
-
Set the bait in areas where pests are commonly seen, such as:
-
Under sinks
-
Behind furniture
-
Dark corners
-
Near drains or wall openings
-
-
Place a small container of water near each bait. After consuming the mixture and drinking water, the plaster hardens inside the pest’s digestive system.
