    Mosquito’s abound in tropical countries like the Philippines. They have been pestering land vertebrates for millions of years. Insecticides are either too harmful to both man and the environment or too expensive for the consumers. The purpose of this study is to create an environment-friendly, safe, effective and cheap mosquito repellant. Weeping willow leaves, tubang bakod seeds, tubang bakod seed hulls, onion peelings and almaciga sap were collected. The solid ones were pulverized and mixed together in three pans in 1:1:1:2:4 ratio. Two of the pans were given different amounts of the oil extracted from tubang bakod seed while the remaining one was given none. The mixtures were allowed to dry and were tested on mosquitoes for effectivity and on humans for acceptability. The results showed that tubang bakod has a significant repelling effect on mosquitoes.…

    Maluggay Extract as Mosquito Repellant

    Dengue, also known as breakbone fever, played a fatal role in the Philippine economy for the previous years. More than sixty two thousand dengue cases were recorded last year and more than five hundred patients have died. No existing treatment has been approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) to completely turn down the virus once it starts infecting a patient; therefore prevention had been the point of action of the community in the past decades. They used natural ways of prevention like restraining themselves from keeping piled water within their area and artificial ways like using insect repellants or mosquito killers.…

    Natural Way to Kill Mosquito

    One of the easiest ways to prevent insects is to use insect repellant. This is the reason why we decide to make a liquid insect repellant for our Science Investigatory Project. There are many commercially available liquid insect repellant in the market. The commonly used commercial liquid insect repellant in the Philippines is quite unaffordable and uses chemicals that may cause irritation. We plan to use natural ingredients in our Science Investigatory Project. Since the ingredient to be used is natural, the liquid insect repellant to be made is more affordable and environment friendly.…

    There are some natural mosquito repellent ideas such as cinnamon oil, castor oil, or clove oil. These do work, but are also very strong odors, and they can stain. Commercially available, all-natural mosquito repellents are formulated and tested to not stain or burn your skin. You should let the companies do the trial and error research to figure out what works best.…

    Investigatory Project

    This essential oil proved to be one of the top performers in a comparative study of insect repellents published in July, 2002 in the New England Journal of Medicine. The two commercial sprays tested kept bugs away from 1 to 3 hours. The results of a 2004 California State Science Fair project show that lemongrass is 30 percent less effective than commercial preparations containing DEET, or diethylmetatoluamide, in repelling mosquitoes. Lemongrass, or cymbopogon ciatrus, may still be a suitable substitute for persons who cannot tolerate DEET. A study published on the CBS News website compares natural-based insect repellents against DEET products. According to the news network, natural products like lemon grass and citronella work by scent and must be reapplied more often than DEET-based products.…
