Bintaro fruit is round, green in color when it is young, and will turn red when ripe, even the skin will peel off leaving the inner fiber skin.
Reportedly, this one fruit is able to repel mice in the house. You simply put the ripe bintaro fruit in a place where that rodent often appears.
After being traced from various sources, it turns out that Bintaro fruit contains poison which of course even animals don't like it. This is also a concern so you have to be careful with the sap.

Based on my experience, this fruit that is difficult to rot is indeed quite helpful in restraining the movement of mice. One, two days the mice looked reduced in number after I put them in several places.
But there was a time when a mouse seemed to passing the fruit without any fear. I was so surprised, I began to ask questions, is this fruit really efficacious? or just a myth?
Even so, I still believe this fruit is still effective in repelling mice. But with a different way, that is be throw!
