About 250 gm dry chilli (Capsicum annum), dry grasses and dry leaves are filled in a pitcher to start a fire and smoke. The open mouth of the pitcher should be such that smoke could be directed into a rat- hole. Seal all rat holes except for one. By adopting this practice some rats will die due to suffocation and the remaining will run away through the open hole.
Ingredients: dry chilli (Capsicum annum), dry grasses, dry leaves
