To prepare this homemade pest control solution:
Mix equal parts of finely ground raw rice and plaster powder.
Distribute the mixture into small containers or bottle caps.
Place these traps in strategic locations such as under sinks, behind furniture, in dark corners, or near drain openings—where pests are likely to travel.
For optimal results, leave a small container of water near each bait. After consuming the rice-plaster mix and drinking water, the plaster hardens inside the pests’ digestive system, effectively eliminating them.
Rice is an appealing bait because of its neutral scent and flavor. Grinding it into a powder makes it easier for smaller cockroaches and young rats to consume.

Patience is essential, as it might take anywhere from 2 to 5 days to see noticeable results, depending on the severity of the infestation.

Maintain a clean home.
Seal up cracks and entry points.
Store food in sealed containers.
Repeat the process weekly for about a month to ensure complete eradication of the pests.
This natural rice-and-plaster remedy is a cost-effective, non-toxic alternative that can help you reclaim your home from rats and cockroaches—safely and efficiently.
