Article Synopsis
  • Rodents pose a significant threat to humans, prompting the need for cost-effective and eco-friendly control methods, leading to a study on the anti-rodent activity of a methanol extract from a specific fruit.
  • The fruit was processed through drying and extraction, with various phytochemicals identified and quantified, while the extract's effectiveness was tested on 25 mice using specific dosages over a week, assessing both toxicity and mortality.
  • The study found that the extract contained several phytochemicals and exhibited high acute toxicity, indicating its potential effectiveness in rodent control through the combined action of its phytochemical constituents.
