They would eat the potato powder-cement mixture and drink water; and in essence their guts turned to concrete and killed them. They couldn't develop an immunity to it because it wasn't a poison in the clinical sense. The mix cost next to nothing and was 100% reliable. As long as you don't have children or pets that could get into it, it works just fine.

That's a great idea - thanks! Thankfully, we don't deal with rats nearly as much as we did in central Florida. Mice eat the blood thinner and just go and bleed out.
