Abstract
Mosquito-borne diseases continue to pose a significant threat to public health around the world. One of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of these diseases is to control mosquito populations. Mosquito coils, a common household product used to repel mosquitoes, are a popular choice due to their ease of use and effectiveness. However, many commercially available mosquito coils contain chemicals that may be harmful to human health and the environment. This research project aims to develop a safer and more environmentally friendly mosquito repellent insecticide coil. The production process involves using natural ingredients known for their mosquito-repellent properties, such as citronella, lemongrass, and eucalyptus oils. These essential oils have been proven to effectively repel mosquitoes while being safe for human use. The research will focus on optimizing the formulation of the mosquito repellent insecticide coil to ensure maximum efficacy against mosquitoes. Various ratios of the essential oils will be tested to determine the most effective combination. In addition, different binders and burning agents will be evaluated for their impact on the performance of the mosquito coil. The production process will involve blending the essential oils with the selected binders and burning agents to create a homogenous mixture. The mixture will then be molded into coil shapes and dried to produce the final product. The mosquito repellent insecticide coil will be tested in a controlled environment to determine its effectiveness in repelling mosquitoes. Furthermore, the safety of the mosquito coil will be assessed to ensure that it does not pose any health risks to humans or the environment. Toxicity studies will be conducted to evaluate the impact of the coil on non-target organisms and the surrounding ecosystem. Overall, this research project aims to develop a mosquito repellent insecticide coil that is both effective in repelling mosquitoes and safe for human use and the environment. By utilizing natural ingredients and optimizing the formulation of the coil, this project has the potential to provide a safer alternative to commercially available mosquito coils. The findings of this research could contribute to the development of sustainable mosquito control strategies and help reduce the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases.
