To Danish Rats and Mice,

1t is claimed that rats or mice can
be compelled to vacate premises by
using a mixture of chloride of lime and
water at the places frequented by these

to be poured into the holes. Rats have
a great aversion to the odor of chloride
of lime and betake themselves at once
as far as possible from it.
