Introduction:
Welcome to Dingleberry County! All is peaceful and
quiet here until a pesky rodent comes along
and threatens to ruin the reputation of this upscale community.
Demonstrations: Borates
(Green Flame)
Purple Smoke (Reaction of Ammonium Nitrate, Ammonium Chloride, and Zinc
[with iodine])
Explosion of Red Phosphorus + Potassium Chlorate

The
exterminators arrive to meet their worried, wealthy client.
First,
they try to smoke the mouse out (Purple Smoke)
[The
Purple Smoke reaction also includes a nice teal flame.]
The
smoke-out technique didn't work--the mouse is still alive!
Next,
they try the "green flame" method (because mice are supposedly afraid
of green fire) but are unsuccessful (Borates)
Finally,
they try the Mousinator 3000!
(Red Phosphorus + Potassium Chlorate)

happy group (including the mouse--they didn't kill it!) after the show
