See continuation on the next page

✳️ Instructions:

Mix equal parts of finely ground rice and gypsum powder.

Place the mixture in small containers, bottle caps, or shallow lids.

Position the bait in strategic spots:

under sinks

behind furniture

near drains

in dark, quiet corners where pests most often pass

Place a small container of water near each bait.
Drinking water after ingesting the bait helps activate the gypsum’s hardening effect.

🔍 Why this method works

Rice is a neutral, appealing bait for pests, without a strong odor that might make them suspicious.

Grinding the rice into powder allows even small cockroaches or young mice to consume it easily.

After drinking water, the mixture dehydrates and hardens in the pests’ stomachs, leading to their natural elimination.
