A modified bentonite of biostatic and biocidal properties, the modified bentonite comprising intercalated bentonite grains, wherein each of the intercalated bentonite grains is intercalated with at least two different metal ions selected from the group consisting of silver ions (Ag.sup.+) and dipositive metal ions (Me.sup.2+).

A rodent control mixture includes a blended chewing gum, salt, fast rising yeast, and flavor additive such as alfalfa powder. The blended chewing gum may be a spearmint-flavored Chiclets chewing gum blended into a powdered form. Relative weights of ingredients of the rodent control feed mixture include two weight units of the powdered gum, two weight units of the salt, one weight unit of the fast-rising yeast, and one weight unit of the flavor additive. A rodent control feed is formed by mixing the rodent control mixture with water and oil into a rodent food such as rolled oats. The rodent control feed is then placed into the burrow holes of the target rodent such as into gopher holes of a gopher burrow. Beneficially, the rodent control mixture and associated feed is less harmful to humans, domestic animals and wildlife than poisons such as Strychnine commonly utilized to kill rodents.

An antibacterial and deodorizing leather includes a leather body and an antibacterial and deodorizing layer. The antibacterial and deodorizing layer includes a water-based foaming material and an antibacterial deodorant. The water-based foaming material and the antibacterial deodorant are mixed and arranged on the leather body and then bonded with the leather body by hot pressing. By uniformly mixing the antibacterial deodorant and a bactericide through the water-based foaming material to become gelatinous, the antibacterial and deodorizing layer is arranged on the leather body according to the size of the leather body. Then, the antibacterial and deodorizing layer is tightly bonded with the leather body by hot pressing, achieving the effects of saving costs, simplifying the manufacturing process, and environmental protection.
