Скачать или смотреть Poisoned Cakes, Flea Traps… and Dead Hedgehogs?! Pest Control Tudor-style

Wormwood-strewn floors. Poisoned rat cakes. Bounties on hedgehogs.
No, it’s not a dark fairy tale—it’s real Tudor pest control.

In a world without bug spray or exterminators, how did the Tudors tackle fleas, flies, rats, mice… and even moths?
Let’s just say… they got creative. And ruthless.

I'm Claire Ridgway, historian and author—and in today’s video, we’re diving into the bizarre, herbal, and sometimes horrifying methods the Tudors used to defend their homes (and health!) from pests.

You'll discover:

Why strewing herbs were scattered on floors
What the Goodman of Paris suggested for catching fleas
The deadly ingredients in Tudor rat cakes
Why hedgehogs were considered milk thieves
And the law that made people bounty hunters
