Production of mosquitoes repellant insecticides (mosquito coil)
Table Of Contents
Project Abstract
AbstractMosquitoes are vectors of various diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, and chikungunya. One of the commonly used methods to repel mosquitoes is the use of mosquito coils. These coils are made by incorporating insecticides and repellent chemicals that deter mosquitoes from entering a particular area. In this research project, we aim to develop a mosquito coil that not only repels mosquitoes effectively but is also safe for human use. The production of mosquito repellent insecticides involves the selection of suitable active ingredients that have been proven to repel mosquitoes. These ingredients are then mixed with binders and other additives to form a paste-like mixture. The mixture is then extruded into coil shapes and dried to form the final product. The key challenge in this process is to ensure that the active ingredients are uniformly distributed in the coil to provide consistent protection against mosquitoes. To test the effectiveness of the mosquito repellent coil, field trials will be conducted in areas with high mosquito populations. The coils will be burned, and the mosquito repellent efficacy will be evaluated by monitoring the mosquito landing rates before and after the coil is used. Additionally, the safety of the mosquito coils for human use will be assessed by analyzing the emissions produced during burning to ensure that they do not pose any health risks. Furthermore, the cost-effectiveness of the production process will be evaluated to determine the feasibility of large-scale manufacturing of the mosquito repellent coils. Factors such as raw material costs, production efficiency, and market demand will be taken into consideration to optimize the production process and make the coils affordable for consumers. Overall, the aim of this research project is to develop a mosquito repellent insecticide coil that is effective in repelling mosquitoes, safe for human use, and economically viable for large-scale production. By creating a product that meets these criteria, we hope to provide a practical solution for controlling mosquito populations and reducing the spread of mosquito-borne diseases.

INTRODUCTION
1.0 INSECTICIDES (General Overview)
Insecticide is a substance or a mixture of substances used for killing insects[1]. It is well known fact that many protozoal bacteria diseases are transmitted from man to man by insects. One may combat these diseases not only by means of prohylactic drugs but also by the destruction of the insects carriers. Insecticide is a chemical compound that is lethally toxic to insects either by ingestion or by body contact. It is applied to vegetation, crops and insect breeding areas either as liquid spray or as dry powder[2]. They are used in agriculture, medicine, industry and household. The use of insecticides is believed to be one of the major factors behind the increase in agricultural productivity in 20th century. Nearly, all insecticides have the potential to significantly after ecosystem, many are toxic to human and others are concentrated in food chain. It is necessary to balance agricultural needs with environmental and health issues when using insecticides. It is crucially important that all the rural areas in Nigeria are being educated on the need to eradicate insects especially mosquitoes that might breed around the environment and transmit malaria to people living within the enclave. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in the home being with restricting the availability of insects of three vital commodities; shelter, water and food. If insects become a problem despite such measures, IPM seeks to control them using the safest possible methods targeting the approach to the particular pest[1]. Years now, efforts are geared towards controlling malaria infestation both in urban and rural areas. A lot of measures are being taken to reduce the number of death as a result of malaria. We hear now and then that numbers being quoted by the analyst that died of malaria attack. Thus, free mosquitoes treated nets are always distributed to families and individuals all in a bid to reduce malaria attack from mosquito bite. In the light of this, it is necessary to study God-given substances in this case, plant that has embedded substances that will help man combat mosquitoes or at least reduce infestation to the barest minimum.
