Potential Of Citronella Oil As Rodent Repellent Measured As Aversion To Food
Repellents act by stimulating the primary or secondary defensemechanisms, causing the food to be rejected. Mature and healthy houserats, Rattus rattus, of both the sexes, were exposed to 5, 10, and 20%citronella oil applied as paint in laboratory pens in choice with no oil.Each concentration was app...
