Abstract

Infestation by rodent is considered as one of the main pest problems since it not only affects health but also causes serious damages to agricultural fields and households including transportation business. Numerous methods and approaches to control rodent infestation are being tried, such as environmental, cultural, mechanical, and chemical methods including their combination. It is also possible that in biological control methods the use of reproduction inhibitors or rodent predators or diseases may ultimately be developed for rodent control purposes. Moreover, different kinds of chemicals that are used to control rodents are harmful to mammals particularly human beings. Such control also adds cost to the approach. Due to probable toxicity of the chemical compound, various alternatives like natural extracts should be considered. Hence, the use of plant natural extracts as a rat repellent practice may be an improved alternative approach. Various natural extracts are experimented on different rat species in a behavioral mode of study. These kinds of natural products are easily available in present society and have no adverse effect on environment and mammals. The rodenticidal effects of many plant extracts solved by various chemical substances could be deliberated upon under various conditions, and that has given very satisfactorily outcome. It is very possible to implement these results in problematic areas. We can, therefore, accomplish that such natural extracts can deter the rodents. Still, some more studies need to be carried out to see whether these extracts are of practical use.
