Kill Mice with Salt: Natural Rat and Mouse Poison Bars
This simple recipe is for natural rat poison and mouse poison that's safe for dogs and cats. You can kill mice with salt, rather than poison.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Active Time 10 minutes
Baking Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 8 bars
Ingredients
- 2 cups sweet feed (or birdseed, or anything else that mice and rats enjoy eating)
- 1/3 cup salt (you can use table salt or sea salt)
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 egg
Instructions
-
Mix all the ingredients together. Peanut butter can vary from very stiff to loose and runny, so you may need more or less. Add just enough to get the dough to clump together.
-
Next, pat the dough out on a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. I make mine about 1/2 half-inch thick.
-
Now, cut into bar shapes or whichever shape you prefer and bake at 350°f for 30 minutes or so, just enough to set the dough.
-
Cool the natural rat poison bars and store them in a sealed container.

Notes
Be sure to mark what the bucket contains. Many times I've put something in a bucket, thinking that I'd remember later what it was, only to find that my memory has failed me!
I used this to kill rats but you can also use them with mice. The bars are easy to make and store.
