This study was held in Rumah Boni Banjarbaru, South Borneo from april to may 2019. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) of one factor with 4 treatments and 5 repIications. So that 20 experimentaI units were obtained. The result show that rodenticide apllication very significantly affected the time of death, body weight, and the number of feeds eaten. This study statae that natural rodenticidal jatropha seed were able to control male rattus norvegicus.
