Glanmore Presents A Victorian Era Bad Idea, A Homemade Pest Control Solution. Some historic sources suggest an easy at home solution to rodents, a crust of bread smeared with butter and sprinkled with Arsenic. Although it was doubtless effective, We DO NOT condone this approach. It is unsafe and a Bad Idea!!! #nopestalgia #victorian #historytok #museum #victorianaesthetic
