INTRODUCTION
II. Background of
the study
 Their lifespan is 9-12 months; however, some have lasted up to 3 years. They
can swim, leap, and climb well, and have excellent hearing, smell, taste, and
touch. Rats can live in enormous numbers unnoticed by humans due to their
ability to hide and scurry. Unlike mice, rats are wary of new things. They easily
adjust to new patterns, new places to eat, and new foods. (Epidemiology
Resource Center, 2021)
 Rodents contaminate food with urine, excrement, and hair. Every year, rats and
mice eat or contaminate 20% of the world's food. Worse, they transmit disease to
humans and other animals via bite, flea, lice, mite, and tick transmission, and
droppings in food and other items touched by humans. Infectious jaundice, rat mite
dermatitis, salmonellosis, pulmonary fever, and typhus are all spread by rats.
(Epidemiology Resource Center, 2021)
 According to Rattner, B., et al., 2014 the humans have
devised a method of poisoning rodents due to its increasing
number of population and troubles. Thus, rodenticide is
made. But rodenticides are poisonous to nontarget wildlife,
pets, and humans.
Brugmansia
and
Datura
 Hundreds of Datura
intoxications occur each year in
the US. For example, the
AAPCC received 318 Datura
exposure reports in 1993, but
we estimate the true number
was greater. Datura species
were responsible for 20% of
the 45 fatalities recorded from
1983–2009, making them the
main cause of plant exposure
fatality.
III. PROBLEMS
III. PROBLEMS
There are a lot of reasons and factors that motivated the researchers conducted
this study. The problems that this study would like to solve are the following:

1. What problems in large scale production affects the availability of raw

materials?

2. How does the potential health hazards of toxins found in rodenticides affect
the following:
2.1 wildlife
2.2 people; and
2.3 pets

3. How do the continuous growth of rodent population pose threats and

dangerous hazards in the community and environment the people live in?
IV. OBJECTIVES
IV. OBJECTIVES

1. To create an environmentally friendly rodenticide that

won't be a dangerous and risk hazard to our environment.

2. To fully utilize the usage of Angel's Trumpet and its

potential to be a raw material for rodenticide production.

3. To produce a cheap and effective rodenticide alternative

for rat infestation management and less hazardous to human
health, biodegradable and ecofriendly.
Hypothesis
Hypothesis
1. Large scale production of rodenticide can lessen the
availability of raw materials, such us toxins being used. With
that being said, the researchers have come up with a way to
produce a rodenticide out of Angel's trumpet (Brugmansia) to
lessen the chances of having a lesser availability of raw
materials. Furthermore, using Angel's trumpet (Brugmansia)
is more natural and accessible This hypothesis is referenced
from our RRL,(Worldwide poisoning potential of Brugmansia
and Datura).
Hypothesis
2. The toxins found in rodenticides poses a great threat and hazard to the
following (wildlife, people, and pets) because:

2.1. The toxins found in rodenticide can be mixed in the air breathed by the
creatures of wild, making their health at risk.
2.2. It poses a threat to one's life (especially to kids) due to the toxins
that's found in the rodenticide.
2.3. It harms the environment; toxins found in rodenticides does not only
affect our health, but it also damages the environment where we live in.

This next one is also drafted from the same RRL which is (Worldwide
poisoning potential of Brugmansia and Datura) by Kerchner and Farkas
Hypothesis
3. Pest Rodents have had the opportunity to settle
where they were introduced and then become invasive
with several effects on biodiversity and profound
impacts on human activities. In this respect, the world’s
urban population is set to rise by 2.1 billion in 2030,
which is likely to induce crucial ecological and sanitary
changes, especially those associated with these rodent
species. Third one is from the RRL(Rodents as Hosts of
Pathogens and Related Zoonotic Disease Risk)
