PREsS BULLETIN NO. 93-RATS.
south Carolina Experiment Station.

AT about this time Of year when
the chilly nights begin to give hints of
colder weather to f. low, the barns
and the house as we'll often become
| infested with rats and mice seeking
warmer quarters for the winter and
the problem Of how to get rid Of these
pests is soon under consideration.
Many means of killing these YER
min are open to The household, but
also many of these while effective are
impractical from one cause or another.
The two means to be considered are
primarily the use Of trap and the use
or poison. Traps are useful but in
preparing these they should be hand
led with gloves rather than bare
bare hands to avoid the warning hu
man odor They may be baited with
bread or better, with piece Of toasted
cheese and placed near the openings
where the rats or mice enter rooms.
The wire spring traps are very effec-
tive 70. n as they are fiat and incon-
spicious and have nothing particular
ly suspicious in their general appear-
arce. For mice the box traps also
answer very we'll. Where obtainable.
the new type Of glass jar traps which
nave recently been put on the marked
appear very desirable.
In poisoning, especially about the
house, there are certain considerations
which should be taken into account.
st, such strong puisons as strych-
nlne, while it VIII Kill the pests. is
a source of danter to mankind
especially to young children who
might be poisoned by accident. There
is also another fault with many Of the
strong poisons due to the fact that
the animal is killed too quickly, thus
lying inside the house, frequently
dying between the walls or in other
inaccessible places and causing q
stencil which will be a source of great
discomfort or possibly of disease. A
poison which acts slowly. allowing
the animal time To get outside the
buildings in its frantic search for wa
ter to relieve its agony is thus much
better than those quickly acting pois-
ons so often used. Many patented
compounds are upon the market
which are said to be prepared with
this idea in view. but every house
holder may rapidly prepare his own
and at less expense. The poison most
generally recommended for this pur-
pose Is carbonate OF barium or as il
Is commonly called "barytes." This
may be bought in powdered form at
most drug stores and is relatively
cheap in price. For preparing, tho
most common method is to mix up
one part of the barytes and six parts
Of corn meal or oat meal with en-
ough water to form n thick dough
This dough is placed where the pests
can readily get at it and left to do its
odor and kills very slowly, often re-
curing several hours, during which
time the animal will leave the house
to seek water. Another point in re-
gard To this poison is that in the
proportions used it is comparatively
harmless to higher animals. The
method of use may be varied by mix
ing the barytes with grated particles
OF toasted cheese, etc, or some 9TH
cr palatable material.
