These two types of plant will be used in making environmental friendly rat repellent. This study also wants to investigate the best optimum dosage for rat repellent. The plant was collected around Kuantan city. The two plants will undergo the extraction process and the ratio of the plant is the same. Before the extract being applied in the study, the extract will be mixed with water to reduce its concentration in order to find the optimum dosage of the extract to be used. In addition, the extract is poisonous so, the dose needs to be minimizing before the extract is used. This study is to help in reducing rat population that have increasing year by year.
