Just be careful never to mix bleach and ammonia. It creates a strong poison gas.

I once did it and fortunately as soon as I got just a whiff, I got out of there. It wasn’t until later that I learned for sure that it was extremely dangerous.

Three caps full to a gallon of water and let it set for an hour. Thanks to Duel Survival——————

It does not take 3 capfuls to a gallon.

More like 12 drops to a gallon.

Chlorine gas. Turns to acid in your lungs, and you drown in your own fluids.

My dad used that to kill gophers. Dump some bleach then hold breath,ammonia, cover and get away before you breath again. It worked.

That's true. But, did you know that many public water supply treatment facilities add ammonia to the chlorinated water before sending it out into the water mains?

The ammonia extends the life of the chlorine so that there will remain a trace of chlorine through-out the water system.
