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.
