Mosquito coil is mosquito-repelling incense, usually shaped into a spiral and typically made from dried paste of pyrethrum powder. The coil is usually held at the center of the spiral, suspending it in the air, or wedged by two pieces of fireproof nettings to allow continuous smoldering. Burning usually begins at the outer end of the spiral and progresses slowly toward the centre of the spiral, producing a mosquito-repellent smoke.
Lanzones is a medium-sized, single-trunked tree that usually grows from ten to fifteen meters tall. Lansiumdomesticum (lanzones) is currently classified in within the family of Meliaceae. Fruits are ovoid, roundish orbs around five centimeters in diameter, usually found in clusters of two to thirty fruits along the branches and trunk. It grows and is sold in bunches that resemble grapes. Each round fruit is covered by yellowish, thick, leathery skin.
The sweet juicy flesh contains sucrose, fructose, and glucose. The fruit peel of Lansiumdomesticum, var. pubescenes (thicker than one of the sweeter var. domesticum) exudes a white sap/latex containing mosquito repelling triterpenes (lansionic acid p.e.). The dried peel is burned and produces an aromatic, white smoke (white from the sap and some remaining water). According to what we have researched the peelings of lanzones have this aromatic smell that drives away and kills, mosquito, the smoke of this repellant for the smoke is a good agent in making mosquito repellant. This may be a cheap alternative to de-fogging and fumigation against dengue-carrying, diurnal mosquitoes and malaria-carrying, nocturnal anopheles. Another alternative would be ipilipil.
