Cool! I just read this one- If you ever have rats try this:Incidentally, should you also be happen to be troubled by rats, I have here an ingenious formula for inducing rat death: Mix equal parts cement and flour Place a pan of this powder out next to a pan of water. The rats eat the cement, then they drink the water, and by the next morning their bowels have turned to concrete. Sadistic, eh? I knew you'd love it.
(I read elsewhere you can use oat meal and at another site plaster of paris).--On Thu, Jun 4, 2015 at 9:20 AM, Matt Graham <mhgraham@crow202.org> wrote:On 2015-06-04 07:21, Michael Havens wrote:

Sort of correct. Insects breathe through spiracles (not follicles). http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/20/whats-the-best-way-to-kill-cockroaches says that borax abrades the waxy coating on roach exoskeleton, so the roaches dehydrate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boric_Acid#Insecticidal says borax interferes with insect metabolism as well.
