Abstract: Leptospirosis
disease control relies on vector control is rodent animals. The use of natural
rodenticides should be developed to reduce the negative impact of chemical
rodenticides. Yam tuber contains alkaloids, including dioscorin and cyanide are
toxic. This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the use of bait
blocks yam tubers for mice. Method: This was experimental research, post test
was conducted with control group design for 4 groups, namely the concentration
of 30%, 50%, and 70% to the total sample examined was 28 mus musculus. Result:
The test results showed that there was corelation between the feed block yam
tubers with mortality of the mice (p= 0.001). The data was analyzed with
univariate and bivariate. Probit analysis obtained bait blocks LC50 and LC90
was 34.024% is 59.298%. In LT50 and LT90 are 2.206E5 minutes 2.018E6 minutes.
Conclusion: Conclusions from this research is a block yam tubers have the
effect of rodenticides for mus musculus, but it can not effective as
rodenticides. The researchers suggest there should be a further research on the
active ingredients contained in yam tuber with just taking alkaloid content.
