 Abstract

Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) sap and Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) sap

are raw materials that can be used to make an alternative mouse trap that can help reduce

the number of pests at home. Mice are one of the house's destroyers despite the fact that

mice appear to be sweet and cuddly; they may spread infections like listeria through their

urine, droppings, saliva, and nesting materials. This study is the first of its kind to

compare the alternative mouse traps to the commercial mouse trap in terms of color,

viscosity, odor, and texture. It also aims to find which ratio in each different treatment is

the most effective out of the three (3) treatments. And the study will also look at the

adhesiveness, shelf life, and duration or time of its effectiveness. T1 (1:1), T2 (3:2), T4

(commercial) were highly viscous while T3 (2:3) is less viscous which is not sticky

enough compared to the other treatments. In terms of its viscosity T1, T2, and T3 have

the same color result of beige compared to T4 - which is transparent. In terms of their

smell all of the three treatments (T1, T2, and T3) have a sweet smell compared to T4

(commercial) having no smell. T1 – T3 treatments have a rough texture while T4 has a

soft texture. In the adhesiveness test the results were T1 (1:1) with a force of

0.4kg⋅m/s^2, T3 (2:3) with a force of 0.5kg⋅m/s^2, and the highest among the 3 and

even surpassing the commercial mouse trap with 1kg⋅m/s^2 force is T2 (3:2). In duration

and time of effectivity, it shows that T1 can only be used once and only last in 36 hours,

T2 can be reused once and last for 60 hours and T3 can be used once and lasts for 24

hours. In term of the shelf life, the results came with both T1 (1:1) and T2 (3:2) can be

sticky for 31 days and T3 (2:3) stickiness can only last for 26 days only, compared to T4

(commercial) that can be used thrice and last for 72 hours of time of effectivity. This

iii
study recommends to future researchers that they should consult the Department of

Science and Technology (DOST) for a better and more accurate testing especially in

terms of mouse trap's adhesive. Another is its necessary to take the sap from its tree as

early as possible to avoid having an unpleasant smell that may result in bad odor.

The Problem and Its Background

Introduction

Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is a fruit that has the potential to be organic

glue. Aside from jackfruit, another fruit with the potential to be glue is the Breadnut

(Artocarpus camansi). These two mentioned fruits have sap that maybe visible in the fruit

skin or in the trunk of the tree. These fruits can be grown in the backyard. There is

another way to use the waste of these fruits instead of throwing it in the garbage or

manufacturing fertilizer for the soil. It can help to reduce waste that may harm the

environment. This research is conducted to make a sticky trap as a mouse trap that can

help reduce pests at home.

According to McKechnie, (2016), mice may seem to be lovely and adorable

creatures, but they can still spread diseases such as listeria through their urine, droppings,

saliva, and nesting materials. People know that no home has just one mouse and mice can

reproduce throughout the year, with a single female producing five to ten litters per year.

A family of six rats can grow to 60 in three months, with an average of six to eight babies

per litter. Mice are also one of the house's destroyers, as they love chewing on electricity

wires, clothes, boxes, and etc..\ Mice chewing on the electric wire might potentially start

a fire. When a wire becomes bare, the possibility of it starting a fire increases. One of the

key components of the research is Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) Sap. Jackfruit

(Artocarpus heterophyllus) Sap is a good alternative to glue, which is one of the

ingredients in the construction of a sticky mouse trap. According to Arconada, Generalao,

1
& Pepana, (2019), Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) sap has been shown in studies to

have the ability to produce glue because it contains a component called latex, which is

essential to form adhesive. According to GreenDreams, (2014), the latex-like sap has

been used as craft glue, as well as an adhesive for bug, rat, and bird traps. According to a

study conducted by the (Mechanical Engineering Department at Brawijaya University,

jackfruit sap has a bio-based adhesive with a tensile strength of 19,93 (MPa)

Megapascals. The second component in the research is Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi).

According to Health Benefits Times, (2018), Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) is a large,

evergreen tropical tree that grows about 20-25 m in height and trunk to 50-90 cm DBH,

but it can grow to a height of up to 35-40 m and 150 cm DBH. The trunk is straight with

typically well-developed buttresses. Upswept branches form a rounded or pyramid

shaped crown. The tree has rough, blackish-gray colored bark, frequently with large,

square scales. Internal bark displays a sticky, rosy colored sap or latex when in contact

with air. According to Mohammed & Wickham, (2020), all trees of the Artocarpus genus

produce sticky, white, milky latex that are present in all parts of the tree and contain a

small quantity of rubber. The physical properties of latex extracted from five Artocarpus

species, including jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) and breadnut (Artocarpus

camansi) fruit have potential as natural adhesives. It was also found that camansi had the

highest tensile strength values of the three stress strain analyses. The results of all five

Artocarpus sap. Latex tests and study showed that latex from all five Artocarpus sap.

They had properties that were similar to polymer adhesive. Breadnut (Artocarpus

camansi) and Artocarpus ovatus are known as 'Anubing gums, in particular, performed

well in adhesive strength testing.

2
 This pest can cause a person to be sick or have disease because mice carry bacteria

that can contaminate the food which the human eats. The researchers intended to solve

this problem by making a mouse trap that is environmentally-friendly and it is not

harmful to us humans if used wisely. The researchers will now comprehend the concepts

and production involved in converting Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) Sap and

Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) Sap into alternative mouse traps. The researchers

intended to do research about mouse traps made of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus)

Sap and Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) Sap.

Conceptual Framework

The diagram below shows the flow of the research entitled "Jackfruit (Artocarpus

heterophyllus) Sap and Breadnut (Artocapus camansi) Sap as Alternative Mouse Trap."

 The framework explains the relationship of the variables together with the methods

involved. The variables are the materials that will be used in the study. The methods

contain the different steps in doing the experiment. The result is the target product of the

study which is the alternative Mouse Trap. Figure 1 shows the variables Jackfruit

(Artocarpus heterophyllus) Sap and Breadnut (Artocapus camansi) Sap which are the

materials needed in the study. Then in the method of the experiment, the researchers will

gather materials for the experiment. Then locate jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) tree

and Breadnut (Artocapus camansi) tree after that, the extracting process follow. The sap

of jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) tree and Breadnut (Artocapus camansi) will be

extracted by either making small cuts in their trunks or cutting its fruits’ skin and proceed

with the process of extraction. The saps will be melted every three (3) minutes when it

dries and before spreading it onto the cardboard. After that, the mixture will be tested in

various ways. Analyzing the effectivity of the mixture and evaluating the analyzed data

will be the last stages of the process. Lastly, the product of the study will be used as an

alternative mouse trap.

Review of Related Literature

This chapter presents the different studies and researches that are related to this

study. It will lend credibility to this study and increase its reliability and validity since the

supporting studies and literature are reliable and valid. Also, this chapter will be the guide

of the researchers throughout the process of the research.

Sticky Paper as Pest Trap

Sticky papers are glue-based traps used to catch and monitor insects and other pests.

A sticky glue layer is usually mounted on a sheet of cardboard that is folded into a tent-

structure to protect the sticky surface.

In previous literature, you don't need to be worried because there are alternatives

available. Glue traps are one of those methods that is becoming increasingly popular

these days. Let's learn more about these pitfalls and how they might assist you. Glue traps

are a type of rodent control device that uses an adhesive board to catch mice or rats.

Simply place the traps where the floor meets the wall or where you predict rodent activity

on a regular basis. The glue will make it tough for the rodent to escape as soon as it treads

on it. The rodent will either suffocate or you can catch it and release it far away from

your home. Glue traps are practical and simple to use. If you only have a small or

beginning mouse infestation, glue traps will do. Knowledge about rodent behavior will

make it easier to trap them and control the rodent problem. Glue traps also catch more

small mice than older rats. Using a combination of electric traps, snap traps, and glue

9
traps is always a good idea. The positioning of these adhesive traps is essential to its

success. (Rose & AuthorRoseHi, 2018).

In this study, sticky paper has also been used as a pest trap; it is used for significant

reasons of trapping pests outside or indoors. Although it is not completely effective in

pest control, it does detect and monitor the actions of each pest. Pesticides are more

commonly used than sticky traps. Pesticides are more hazardous to humans, animals, and

to the environment. Sticky trap is simpler to use because you just need to leave it in one

area and it can trap pests for 24 hours a day.

According to Ellis, (2020), in the garden, the pest is a serious problem. They eat,

infest, and they destroy your plants in some cases. There are numerous methods for

dealing with and controlling unwanted insects. Sticky traps are one strategy. Sticky trap

pest management entails using a glue-based trap to immobilize pests. These traps are

mostly made of cardboard and paper, with a layer of sticky glue on top. A sticky trap can

also be a hanging trap. A hanging strip of sticky paper can be used to grab and trap

insects. Sticky traps are useful to detect pests that are active at night or at other times

when people are not there. According to the Humane Society, using these kinds of traps

is strongly discouraged due to the risk of trapping helpful insects as well as snakes,

lizards, and even birds. Sticky traps are intended only for pesky insects. But that doesn't

mean sticky traps can't or shouldn't be utilized. The sticky trap is typically used when

attempting to minimize insect populations in a greenhouse or your home. Sticky traps can

be used to monitor insect populations in order to identify if another pest control method is

working or to identify the cause of your pest problems. When it comes to managing

outdoor garden pests, sticky traps offer a risk to animals, thus other pest management

10
methods should be used instead. Making the garden more attractive to insects can help

keep the amount of pesky insects, as many of them eat on them.

In relation to this study, the researchers intended to create a sticky mouse trap,

which will substantially help individuals in reducing and monitoring pest activity. It will

maintain the house and surroundings safe and clean. The sticky mouse trap that the

researchers will make is only for pesky insects including mice and rats.

According to the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service (TAMU), (2015), Sticky

traps can be utilized in areas besides the garden; it can also be used in the home.

Adhesive traps or boards are one of several strategies for controlling mouse, rat or pest

problems, but they also give a mechanism to detect and track rodent activity. Most sticky

traps do not contain pesticides; however some may be impregnated with smells meant to

attract specific pests. Sticky traps are helpful for monitoring an area for crawling insects

24 hours a day, seven days a week. Sticky traps are not 100 % effective at controlling

small insect or mite pests. Their application is to identify pests and track changes in pest

abundance. Cockroaches, spiders, and other crawling insects, and mites are among the

pests easily trapped with sticky traps. Most insects and rodent pests prefer to go in dark

areas and along edges. As a result, the best site for a sticky card is in an out-of-the-way

spot that is in direct contact with a wall. The trap's two open ends should run parallel to

the wall so that insects can easily enter. The number of traps you set out will be limited

by the number of places available for placement. Sticky traps should be placed at least 5-

10 feet apart in locations where pests are prone to travel. They may be placed in a broader

range of areas that rodents frequent, such as the kitchen or hallways. Place traps along

active rodent pathways, such as along walls or beneath large kitchen appliances. In

11
closets and under sinks, and also behind stoves and refrigerators, sticky traps could be

used to trap pests. Sticky cards to trap outdoor pests can be placed on each side of outside

doors or other exterior pest entrance sites.

This research is to introduce a new system for recovering and making sticky Mouse

traps using Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) sap and Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi)

sap. These saps will be used in trapping pests and rodents in households. In this study,

the researchers will capture the mouse using a good quality of organic materials and an

environmentally-friendly mouse trap since every sticky mouse trap in the market is made

of hazardous chemicals that might harm or poison pets and might smell the corpse of the

captured pest if it’s not disposed of immediately. By studying and reviewing the related

articles, research, journal, and etc. Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) sap is a good

source of vitamins, and the latex-like sap has been used as glue in craft and construction

projects, as well as adhesives in bug, rat, and bird traps. Numbers of studies have been

realized on making sticky mouse traps with encouraging results and several methods have

been studied. In the field of agriculture, insect detection and counting pose a significant

challenge. Pest infestation, however, is a major challenge among the various biotic issues

of agricultural production, with the humid environment surrounding the crops

encouraging pest survival and proliferation. Furthermore, electronic traps require

protection, particularly from rain (Hadi, 2021).

Jackfruit Sap

The latex of the Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) plants includes sap, which is

extremely sticky and is used as an adhesive and as one of the raw materials used in this

12
study. An adhesive is a liquid or semi-liquid material that binds or bonds objects together.

Adhesives can be found in both natural and synthetic forms. The Jackfruit (Artocarpus

heterophyllus) is native to tropical Asia and is frequently grown in the wetland tropics for

their tasty fruit and hard tree. When compared to ordinary fruits, Jackfruit (Artocarpus

heterophyllus) has higher protein, calcium, iron, vitamins, and other critical components.

Both of these plants are multi-purpose species that provide food, lumber, fuel, and

fodder, medicinal and industrial products, among other things.

According to Grant, (2020), all parts of a jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) will

ooze sticky latex. As the fruit ripens, the quantity of latex lessens, so the riper the fruit,

the less of a mess. The fruit can also be allowed to leach out its latex prior to harvesting

jackfruit Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus). Make three shallow cuts in the fruit a few

days before harvesting. This will allow the majority of the latex to ooze out. Harvest the

fruit with clippers or loppers or, if picking jackfruit Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus)

that is high-up on the tree use a sickle. The cut stem will exude white, sticky latex that

can stain clothing. Worldwide, jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is mainly produced in

Asia with India and Bangladesh being the world’s leading producers with an average of

1.25 million metric tons of fruit annually [1]. The lifespan of the jackfruit (Artocarpus

heterophyllus) tree is 60 to 70 years and a mature plant produces up to 700 fruits per year

[2]. Jackfruit is known to be the heaviest fruit with an average fruit weight 10-30 kg [3]

and annual average yield of 50- 80 tons of fruits per hectare of land [1] (Balamaze,

Muyongan, & Byaruhanga, 2019).

According to Tyagi, (2015), from Haryana, India; Jack fruit is thought to be

nutritious, cold, sweet, and gratifying, as well as preventing excessive bile development,

13
developing meat, phlegm, strengthening the body, and increasing virility. It also contains

phytonutrients, making it anti-cancer and antihypertensive in nature, as well as

potassium, which aids in blood pressure reduction. The dried latex yields of ortostenone,

which is converted to artosterone, an androgenic chemical. Its decoction and latex are

used to cure asthma, prevent ringworm infections, and repair foot cracks.

Based on Jennifer, (2016), from Burgas, Bulgaria; Synthetic adhesives are now

harmful to humans when sniffed. It includes chemicals that can be harmful to one's

health. Natural adhesives, on the other hand, are almost forgotten because they require

time to create and are no longer practical, but they do not pose any health dangers.

According to (Kabir, 2018) the printing properties of jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophllus)

latex gum were compared to traditional pigment printing on cotton fabrics. The amount

of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophllus) latex gum in the binder as well as the curing

conditions had an impact on printing results.

According to (Falculan, F.J. et al., 2020) the sap from jackfruit (Artocarpus

heterophllus) and citrus trees may be used to make shoe adhesive, according to the

researchers. As a result, the researchers found that its efficacy is important for individuals

with broken shoes, such as students, teachers, and other local businesspeople, since it is

successful in mending damaged shoes. The researchers discovered that the product's

quality qualities may be used as a substitute for shoe glue based on their testing and

findings. As a result, the researchers came to the conclusion that the sap of jackfruit

(Artocarpus heterophllus) and citrus trees may be utilized to make decent shoe adhesive.

The shoe adhesive made from the sap of the Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophllus) was

applied to a variety of shoe materials including leather, rubber, and cloth.

14
Breadnut Sap

Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) has latex-a very sticky substance that can be

extracted in its fruit and in its tree’s trunk. The latex is composed of high percentage of

sap which can be used in the study in making an alternative sticky mouse traps. Breadnut

(Artocarpus camansi) Saps are commonly found in Pacific Islands and Southeastern

Asia. The Philippines plants Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) tree which means Breadnut

(Artocarpus camansi) Sap can be seen or collected somewhere in this country and since

Philippines belong to tropical regions where Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) Tree

commonly occurs.

All trees of the Artocarpus genus produce sticky, white, milky latex that are present

in all parts of the tree and contain a small quantity of rubber (Mohammed & Wickham,

2020). Unlike the Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) that’s very famous and known for

a very long time, Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) is not a famous fruit and it looks like a

Breadfruit which is also a relative of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) and Breadnut

(Artocarpus camansi) fruit. Breadfruit is more famous than Breadnut (Artocarpus

camansi) so it gives people thought that these two are the same. The right soil conditions,

sandy with good drainage, and warm temperatures, above 55 degrees F, allows seeds to

reproduce without any intervention. The grown trees are quick producers fruiting after

only 2 years. The breadnut tree, which is in the Mora family, produces a large oblong

shaped fruit that has soft spikes covering it. Two to three fruits grow together at the end

of a branch until they get fat and heavy and fall to the ground (Beck, 2013). The fast-

growing breadnut tree originally came from New Guinea, and possibly Indonesia and the

Philippines. The tree grows in lowland areas, often appearing on banks of rivers that

15
frequently flood. Breadnut trees remain scattered throughout the forest, likely spread by

birds and mammals that drop the large seeds where they sprout and grow. The trees grow

in South Florida and the Keys, where temperatures do not drop below 40 degrees

Fahrenheit (Wagner, 2017). The breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) tree can mature for about

2 years and it can grow hundreds of fruits. Per fruit there are about 12 seeds that you can

collect to produce another breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) tree.

According to Huben, (2018), from United States; Sap of Breadnut (Artocarpus

Camansi) tree is used to cure asthma and anemia in Central American and South

American countries. Latex in this fruit can be used as a treatment for dry coughs and for

itchy sore throat. Diluted latex is used to aid the extraction of teeth. Plant sap can be

consumed or applied to stings and snake bites on the skin.

Synthesis

Sticky paper is used as a pest trap to detect and monitor the actions of pests. People

should use a sticky trap to lessen the population of insects and pests in their house rather

than using what they commonly use which is the pesticides since it’s mostly made out of

chemicals. .Pest is one of the serious problems which most of the gardener and/or

households were facing. Therefore, the researchers helped to lessen this kind of problem

by creating an organic sticky mouse trap that is less harmful to humans. The sap of the

Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is one of the variables that the researchers used in

this study. Its sticky sap that came from its fruit and tree’s trunk is a very good adhesive.

The Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) sap is more organic and has a sweet smell that

is not harmful to humans, it’s even better than those chemicals that can be harmful to

16
one's health. Another variable that’s used in the study is Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi)

sap; its sap can also be found in its tree’s trunk and fruits. Its tree is not very famous and

mostly confused to be the same with Breadfruit. Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) in other

areas uses its latex to treat different kinds of illness/diseases like dry coughs and itchy

throats but in this study, the Breadnut’s (Artocarpus camansi) latex is used as an adhesive

to make an alternative sticky mouse trap.

Research Methodology

This chapter presents the methodology utilized in the study. Wherein each part of

the methodology was discussed based on how it’s executed in this study. These parts

include Research Method and Design/s, The Sample, Description of the Samples, and

Data Gathering Procedures.

Research Method and Design/s

According to Formuls Blog, (2020), Experimental research is a scientific approach

to research, where one or more independent variables are manipulated and applied to one

or more dependent variables to measure their effect on the latter. The effect of the

independent variables on the dependent variables is usually observed and recorded over

some time, to aid researchers in drawing a reasonable conclusion regarding the

relationship between these 2 variable types. The researchers used Experimental research

design in the study of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) Sap and Breadnut (Artocarpus

camansi) Sap to make alternative Mouse Trap. This research employs statistical methods

to conduct an impartial, systematic, and scientific study of observed phenomena. It

emphasizes interpretation in the hopes of obtaining impartial conclusions and justifies a

specific finding under the experimentation and testing processes. The researcher uses

experimental research design to test the hypotheses, look at the cause and effect, and

make predictions. The researchers employ experimental research design as for the

description of the sample. Researchers will only describe subjects which are the Breadnut

18
(Artocarpus camansi) sap and Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) sap about the

Effectiveness of the variables to make alternative Mouse Trap.

The Sample

The researchers selected sampling units based on the research purposed of what

units will facilitate an investigation. The saps from the fruit and tree’s trunk that the

researchers used in the experiment were collected in the super market of Pasig City and

Taytay, Rizal-a rural area with a farm planting jackfruit and banana. The study is limited

only to conversion of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) and Breadnut (Artocarpus

camansi) into sticky mouse trap. The experimentation and testing of the variables were

conducted at 2829 LT Capistrano CPD Street Ibayo Tipas Taguig City. The space

provided in the room was intended for experimenting and testing of the Jackfruit

(Artocarpus heterophyllus) sap and Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) sap into sticky mouse

traps. The researchers underwent further experimentation in Department of Science and

Technology-Industrial Technology Development Institute.

Description of the Samples

Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) Sap. It’s also called milk tree or ramon, it comes

from the family tree of Moraceae . It can be obtained from the tree’s trunk or from the

fruit flesh and it is extremely sticky.

Jackfruit sap (Artocarpus heterophyllus) Sap. It excretes from the fruit itself and

also in its tree’s trunk; the stickiness of the latex is hard to remove. Due to this, the latex

that comes from the fruit can be used by researchers to make an alternative sticky mouse

trap.

19
Instrumentations
The instruments used in this research were used to collect the data and for the

different treatments. It measures the things that are significant to the research testing and

experimentation. The following are instruments and materials used by the researcher:

Cans. It is a steel, tin can used for food containers or storage of goods.

Cardboard. It is a material on which it is used to put the sap

Metal scraper. A single-edge metal scrapper is a tool used to scrape metal from a

surface.

Spring Balance. This material will be used to test the adhesiveness of the

alternative mouse trap.

Timer. This will be used as an Instrument to determine how long the adhesiveness

will last for a period of time.

Weighing Scale. This is an instrument that was used in weighing the Breadnut

(Artocarpus camansi) sap and Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) sap.

Vinyl paper. It is a plastic that contains polyvinyl chloride.

Data Gathering Procedures

Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) Sap and Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) were

used to make a sticky trap for mouse as an organic mouse trap in which the saps were

extracted from its tree and fruit waste. The saps will be melted every three (3) minutes

when it dries and before spreading it onto the cardboard. Different treatments underwent

20
in different testing to know which treatment is the most effective mouse trap. Then, the

researchers interpreted the data based on the outcome of the experimentation and testing.

Figure 2.The Production of Mouse Trap from Organic Materials

1. Collection of Organic Materials. The Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) sap and

Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) sap were obtained in Taytay, Rizal and these two

organic materials should weigh 150 grams (g). The Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) sap

should weigh 75 grams (g) and the Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) sap should also

weigh 75 grams (g).

2. Preparation of Organic Materials. The researchers prepared the organic materials

which are the Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) sap and the Jackfruit (Artocarpus

heterophyllus) sap. The researchers used three (3) ratios for different treatments in which

it has 100% organic ingredients.

a. 25 grams (g) of Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) sap and

25 grams (g) of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllusi) sap are (1:1)

21
b. 30 grams (g) of Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) sap and

20 grams (g) of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllusi) sap are (3:2)

c. 20 grams (g) of Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) sap and

30 grams (g) of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllusi) sap are (2:3)

3. Preparation of the Tools and Equipment. The researchers prepared the needed tools

and equipment for the testing and experimentation such as a knife for extracting the saps,

a container used for collecting the sap, a weighing scale to weigh the sap needed for the

different treatments, a ruler and a scissor that’s used to measure and cut the papers, a can

as a container for heating the saps and measuring of the saps, a metal scraper to evenly

spread the saps on the cardboard paper, and a clock for the testing of the different

treatments.

4. Melting Process of the Saps. The Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) sap and the

Jackfruit Sap that the researchers had collected were put in a clean can. The researchers

used this as a container where the researchers could heat the sap. The researchers melted

the saps for about three (3) minutes to get the preferred viscosity for this study.

5. Production of Mouse Trap. During experimentation, the collected saps of Jackfruit

(Artocarpus heterophyllus) and Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) were placed in container.

Then, it was placed in a cardboard paper with three (3) different treatments. Treatments

one to three were applied, observed, and evaluated to see if the alternative mouse trap is

effective.

6. Analytical Method. After the given period on the process, the researchers used

analytical method and statistical analysis to interpret the data. The researchers used
22
instruments to accurately measure the data that were available in one of the researchers’

house. The researchers gathered 150g of sap collected in Jackfruit (Artocarpus

heterophyllus) tree’s trunk as well as in Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) tree’s trunk. In

collecting the sap, the researchers used a knife for extracting and a container for

collecting the saps. The study prepared three set-ups: a. 25 grams (g) of Breadnut

(Artocarpus camansi) sap and 25 grams (g) of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllusi) sap

are (1:1), b. 30 grams (g) of Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) sap and 20 grams (g) of

Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllusi) sap are (3:2), c. 20 grams (g) of Breadnut

(Artocarpus camansi) sap and 30 grams (g) of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllusi) sap

are (2:3).The three set-ups were used to describe the stickiness of the sap, duration or

time of its effectivity, and its shelf life.

7. Mouse Trap Produced. Mouse trap was produced using three different types of

treatments which are the duration or time of effectivity, peel strength test, and shelf life.

The researcher compared mouse traps made from Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus)

Sap and Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) Sap from a commercial sticky mouse board in

terms of the color, viscosity, texture, and odor. Moreover, the researchers determined

which among the mouse trap made from Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) Sap and

Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) Sap is more effective.

 Chapter IV

Presentations, Analyses, and Interpretations of Data

This chapter explains how the researchers analyzed and interpreted the data they

collected after the experiment. The different tables will help the researchers in answering

their statement of the problem.

Table 1.The characteristics of alternative mouse traps in terms of Color, Viscosity,

Odor, Texture

Treatments Color Viscosity Odor Texture

T1 (1:1) Beige Highly Viscous Sweet Smell Rough
T2 (2:1) Beige Highly Viscous Sweet Smell Rough
T3 (1:2) Beige Less Viscous Sweet Smell Rough
T4 (control variable) Transparent Highly Viscous No Smell Smooth

Table 1 shows there the test results of each of the products’ color, viscosity, odor,

and texture. For Treatment 1, it contains 25 grams (g) of Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi)

sap and 25 grams (g) of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) sap that resulted to color

beige, has a high viscosity, has a sweet smell, and a rough texture. Treatment 1 has the

same color, viscosity, odor, and texture with Treatment 2. Treatment 2 contains 30 grams

(g) of Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) sap and 20 grams (g) of Jackfruit (Artocarpus

heterophyllus) sap. For Treatment 3, the cardboard contains of 20 grams (g) of Breadnut

(Artocarpus camansi) sap and 30 grams (g) of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) sap

with the same beige color as Treatment 1 and 2, has a less viscosity, it also has a sweet

smell, and a rough texture. The commercial product on the other hand is different from

24
the three mouse traps that had been mentioned. Commercial product or the control

variable doesn’t have literal color but, it’s more of a transparent one, it’s highly viscous,

no smell, and has a smooth texture.

According to healthbenefitstime, (2018), the Breadnut’s (Artocarpus camansi)

internal bark displays a sticky, rosy colored sap or latex when in contact with air. This

means that the combination of it to Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) which has a dirty

white color of sticky latex resulted to a beige color of the alternative sticky mouse trap.

According to Dizon, (2020), in terms of odor, commercial glue has a sour smell while

eco-glue has a sweet smell. And in terms of stickiness, two glues are sticky; the only

difference is the eco-glue is stickier. The study that was mentioned is about Jackfruit

(Artocarpus heterophyllus) sap eco-glue. The relation of it to this study is that the

Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) and Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) saps are known

to excrete a sweet and a very sticky latex substance.

The viscosity of the sap was tested by using the following; timer, illustration board,

plastic cover, and a drawn line. A straight line was drawn 2 inches above the bottom area

of the illustration board. It was covered by a plastic cover after a straight line was drawn.

The timer were used to test how long can the saps reach the line that was drawn and how

long will the sap stops on flowing. This test will tell the result of the viscosity’s range

from hot (46-50 degree Celsius) to warm (sap that was cooled down for 5 minutes)

temperature. Treatment 1 has a range of 1.47 seconds (hot) and 44 seconds (warm). For

the hot temperature, Treatment 1 reached the drawn line, while for the warm temperature,

it stopped flowing. Treatment 2 has a range of 3.89 seconds (hot) and 52 seconds (warm).

For the hot temperature, Treatment 2 reached the drawn line, while for the warm

25
temperature, it stopped flowing. Treatment 3 has a range of 56 milliseconds (hot) and

10.92 seconds (warm). For the hot and warm temperature, Treatment 3 reached the drawn

line.

also a 31 days shelf life. Treatment 3 can be reused only once, has a 0.5kg⋅m/s^2 force,

and a 26 days shelf life.

Table 2 shows the difference between the commercial product or the control

variable and the alternative mouse traps in the final experimentation of the Adhesiveness

Test with the use of a spring balance in each treatment including the control variable. The

researchers utilize a spring balance to determine the adhesiveness of the saps in each

treatment by inserting the spring balance's hook into a vinyl paper and pasting it in the

traps. Treatment 1 has the weakest force which is 0.4kg⋅m/s^2. While, Treatment 2 has

the strongest force of 1kg⋅m/s^2, which is greater than the control variable's score of

0.8kg⋅m/s^2, on the other hand, Treatment 3 has a force of 0.5kg⋅m/s^2.

According to cabi, (2019), Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) trunk exudes white

gummy latex when damaged. The latex of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) also

contains both cis-1,4-polyisoprene (34.4 %) and trans-1,4-polyisoprene (65.6 %) and a

few other chemical constituents (Bhadra et al., 2019). The relation of it to this study is

that polyisoprene is known to be a natural rubber which means it proves that Jackfruit

(Artocarpus heterophyllus) have latex that has a potential to be a very sticky adhesive

even though it’s incomparable to natural rubber. Since both the Jackfruit (Artocarpus

heterophyllus) and Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) have latex, the force it can produce is

enough to be an alternative sticky mouse trap.

27
Table 3.The significant difference between the alternative mouse traps and

commercial product in terms of Duration or time of effectivity

Treatments Duration or Time of Effectivity

T1 (1:1) Use once for 36 hours
T2 (2:1) Reuse once for 60 hours
T3 (1:2) Use once for 24 hours
T4 (control variable) Reuse twice for 72 hours

Table 3 shows the total duration of each experiment, or the time of effectivity of

each group. The data above shows that Treatment 1 can be used only once and lasts 36

hours, while Treatment 2 can be reused once and lasts 60 hours. Treatment 3, like

Treatment 1, can only be used once and has a 24-hour time of effectiveness. The control

variable can be used twice times and has a 72-hour time of effectiveness. Because T3

handle 0.5kg⋅m/s^2 forces, it goes with the rat, and because T1 has 0.4kg⋅m/s^2 forces,

the sap also goes with the rat after it dries, specifically the side part. It didn't stick like the

T2 and remained wet and sticky. It can be used three times in the control variable since it

has a lot of adhesion and will not dry even if it sticks to the rat and gets worse, unlike our

sap, which can dry.

According to householdblogger, (2021), the glues used in mouse glue traps are

usually not strong enough to hold on to more than one mouse, every mouse that catches

the sticky mouse trap reduces its adhesiveness. So the trap may not be effective in

catching the second (or third) mouse. This means that sticky mouse traps that were used

once and was exposed to air lessen the time of its effectivity when it’s reused

28
Table 4.The difference between the alternative mouse traps and commercial

product in terms of its Shelf life

Treatments Shelf Life

T1 (1:1) 31 days
T2 (2:1) 31 days
T3 (1:2) 26 days
T4 (control variable) 31 days

The table 4 shows the difference of the alternative mouse traps and commercial

product or the control variable in terms of its shelf life. The one that’s being observed

here is how long the four (4) treatments’ stickiness could last? According to Dalter

School, (2017), the shelf life, literally the “life of the product on the shelf” is the period

of time during which the product maintains its qualities under normal conditions of

storage and use. In relation to this study, To test the shelf life of all the treatments, it was

stored in a same place specifically under the table with the room’s temperature where no

one could interrupt the process. Treatment 3 stayed sticky until 26 days, Treatment 1,

Treatment 2, and Treatment 4 which is the commercial product stayed sticky for 31 days.

Due to lack of time, the continuation of testing the shelf life is limited.

According to Williams, (2014), Glue traps (or glue boards) should work in high

temperatures unless you’re using them in a very hot attic or some other unusual high

temp situation. Manufacturers have greatly improved their traps in recent years. Glue

traps usually remain sticky within a temperature range of at least 50-110° F. The trap’s

package should give you an effective temperature range for the particular trap. Since in

this study, the alternative mouse traps together with the commercial product was placed

29
in a place with room temperature that could range from 78° to 90° F, the mouse traps

could stay sticky for more than three (3) weeks.

 Chapter V

Summary of Findings, Conclusion, Recommendations

This chapter presents the summarization of the findings, the conclusion based on

the findings of the study, and the recommendations based on the conclusion of the study.

Summary of Findings
1. The comparison of the characteristics of alternative mouse trap and commercial sticky

mouse board in terms of color, viscosity, odor, and texture.

The color of the homemade mouse trap is beige, while the commercial sticky

mouse board is transparent. Homemade mouse trap is less viscous than the commercial

sticky mouse board homemade mouse trap smells sweet, while commercial mouse board

is odorless. The texture of the homemade mouse trap is rough while the commercial

mouse board is smooth.

2. The ratio combinations of Breadnut (Artocarpus Camansi) Sap and Jackfruit

(Artocarpus heterophyllus) Sap as mouse trap.

The best ratio combination of breadnut sap and jackfruit sap is 3:2, which contains

30g of Breadnut (Artocarpus Camansi) Sap and 20g of Jackfruit (Artocarpus

heterophyllus) Sap because it is the most adhesive among the mixtures. Treatment 2 is

considered the best ratio because it can be reused once, has a force of 1kg⋅m/s^2, and 31

days shelf life.

31
3. The difference between the mouse traps made of Breadnut (Artocarpus Camansi) Sap

and Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) Sap and the commercial sticky mouse board in

terms of adhesiveness, duration or time of effectivity, and its shelf life.

The adhesiveness of the variables is both measured by using spring balance in

Newton (N). Adhesive test findings shows that Treatment 2 has the strongest force of

1kg⋅m/s^2 which is greater than the control variable that has only 0.8kg⋅m/s^2,

followed by Treatment 3 that has 0.5kg⋅m/s^2, and Treatment 1 has the lowest force

which is 0.4kg⋅m/s^2. The data in table 3 shows that Treatment 1 can be used once and

lasted for 36 hours, Treatment 2 can be used twice and lasted for 60 hours, then

Treatment 3 can be used once and has a 24 hours’ time of effectiveness, while the control

variable can be reused thrice and has a 72 hours’ time of effectiveness. In average,

alternative mouse trap can hold mice once in 30 hours while commercial mouse board

can hold mice trice in 72 hours (once in every 24 hours). In shelf life test, Treatment 3

stayed sticky until 26 days, Treatment 1, Treatment 2, and Treatment 4 which is the

control variable stayed sticky for 31 days. Therefore, the effectivity of alternative mouse

trap observed to be useful within the average of 29 days while commercial mouse board

observed to be useful up to 31 days.

Conclusion
The following conclusions were drawn base from the results of a study.

1. The T1 contains 25 grams (g) of Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) sap and 25 grams (g)

of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) sap and T2 contains 30 grams (g) of Breadnut

(Artocarpus camansi) sap and 20 grams (g) of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) sap

32
that resulted in a beige color get a high viscosity, a sweet scent, and a rough texture

because to the Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) sap. T3 contains of 20 grams (g) of

Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) sap and 30 grams (g) of Jackfruit (Artocarpus

heterophyllus) sap has a beige color, is less viscous, has a sweet aroma, and has a rough

texture.

2. The best ratio combination is found in the second treatment. It has 30 g of Breadnut

(Artocarpus camansi) sap and 20 g of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) sap, it can

handle a force of 1kg⋅m/s^2. While T3 can handle a force of 0.5kg⋅m/s^2, While

Treatment 1 has the weakest force which is 0.4kg⋅m/s^2.

3. The significant difference between the mouse traps made of Jackfruit (Artocarpus

heterophyllus) Sap and Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) Sap and commercial sticky

mouse board. Treatment 1 has the weakest force of 0.4kg⋅m/s^2 in terms of

adhesiveness. While Treatment 2 has the highest force of 1kg⋅m/s^2, which is higher

than the control variable's score of 0.8kg⋅m/s^2, Treatment 3 has a force of

0.5kg⋅m/s^2. In terms of time effectiveness, Treatment 1 can only be used once and

lasts 36 hours, but Treatment 2 can be used twice and lasts 60 hours. Treatment 3, like

Treatment 1, is only effective for 24 hours and can only be used once. The control

variable can be used three times and is effective for 72 hours. After evaluating the shelf

life, Treatment 3 remained sticky for 26 days, Treatment 1, Treatment 2, and the

commercial product, Treatment 4, stayed sticky for 31 days.

33
Recommendations
1. The researchers recommend to the future researchers that they should consult the

Department of Science and Technology (DOST) for a better and more accurate testing

especially in testing the mouse traps’ adhesive. DOST may also suggest better ideas to

modify the research study.

2. The researchers recommend when getting Saps especially the Jackfruit (Artocarpus

heterophyllus) Sap in its tree’s trunk, you should have patience and perseverance.

3. The scent of the saps both depends if the tree or fruit is ripped or slowly ripping,

researchers recommend to take saps from its tree as early as possible to avoid having the

saps with unpleasant smell that may result for bad odor.
