“Ogre – The animal rights activists would lynch me for this, but here
is how to stop a rodent infestation. Green and Brown glass (wine and
beer bottles) finely ground into powder between two bricks. Mix the
glass with molasses into a runny mixture. Set out this mixture in
prominent rodent locations. The rodent packs this into his cheek
pouches, and if he does not bleed to death on the way back to the
burrow, the rest of the rodents in the burrow swallow this mess, and
they all die. I have used this on mice in the grain bins on our
farm. Works great. Mart”

It sounds clever, but I’d worry about other animals (cats and dogs) being drawn to the molasses. I’ll stick to cats for handling rodent infestations, I think.
