Rats are dangerous animals in the
poultry house and they cause problems both direct and indirect.
- Direct - they eat
chicks or kill chicks rapidly.
- Indirect - they carry many
diseases that affect chicks. Therefore, their presence in the poultry house is
a big risk.
However, it is a bit hard to control
rats in the poultry house because most of the chemicals that kill rats are
harmful to our birds. Nevertheless, today we shall break the secret on how to
kill rats using safe methods. Remember I am an organic poultry farmer and I
promote organic methods all the time.
So now, let us see how to solve this
rat issue.
Organic
method of getting rid of rats on farms and at home:
- Mix baking soda + flour + sugar at equal ratios 1:1:1.
- Mix thoroughly dry.
- Put them in small containers and place them at the corners of your poultry house. They will eat it and never return to disturb you again.
- If you have a small bowl of that size, you can also use it. Rats love flour and so will golf it.
- Secondly, the “bomb” is sweet due to the sugar.
- Thirdly, baking soda has a funny taste that makes the rodent eat more. They will consume it.
Now
this is how it works:
Baking soda will react with the acid in
the stomach of the rodent to create carbon dioxide. Unfortunately, rats and
mice cannot burp or fart it out. This inability will lead to their death. Because
the inability and internal blockage will cause ruptures, which consequently will
lead to their death.
