Rattus sp is one of the main pests of food crops that attack plants from plantation to storage and can decrease production up to 50%, it is necessary to control the pest by means of the use of D. hispida are more environmentally friendly. The study aims to investigate the effect D. hispida agains Rattus sp. The dose use for D. hispida were 300 gr, 450 gr, 700 gr, 950 gr and control. The experiment indicated that treatment significantly different from control. The treatment with D. hispida has an effect on male and female Rattus sp. that are characterized by damage to the internal organs of Rattus sp. In the treatment of 450 doses can kill Rattus sp. with an average day of death of 5.65 days where male 3 days and female 9 days, while doses of 300 gr, 700 gr and 950 gr can also kill the Rattus sp. The present study clarified that the D. hispida can killed Rattus sp. and could be used for control of Rattus sp. in the field.
