Is kakawate bark and leaves extract is effective as rodenticide?

Kakawate, or Gliricidia sepium, has shown potential as a natural rodenticide due to its toxic compounds, particularly in its bark and leaves. Some studies suggest that extracts can deter or even kill rodents when ingested. However, further research is needed to establish its efficacy, safety, and optimal application methods compared to conventional rodenticides. It is important to consider potential ecological impacts and non-target species when using plant-based rodenticides.
