Introduction:
Urban places were visualized in a modernized and civilized setting. At present, urban places are populated because people from rural places migrate to urban places because of the thinking that they would have a better life. More people mean more consumers which therefore mean more wastes. Improper accumulation of wastes invites insects which usually carry germs, microbes, bacteria and the like. It makes a perfect environment for the disease-causing organisms to live in.
A mosquito is an example of an insect that are attracted by decomposing wastes and garbage. They have been found to carry the pathogens that causes dengue and malaria as well as over 40 other bacteria (like salmonella) or viruses that can cause disease. They transfer from garbage to another until it is full and satisfied. Usually, dirt clings to its body which eventually leaves marks on the surfaces it touches. The dirt contains thousands of microbes that are the cause of illness.
Today, mosquitoes are major nuisance and hazard to the public health of the cities.
Garlic (Allium sativum linn) is also known to have insecticidal property. Garlic is such a useful ingredient as a garden insecticide due to the presence of sulfur volatiles. Garlic is effective against so many pests and diseases that different strengths may need to be experimented with. It already used by a number of people as insecticide here and abroad.
By using garlic, the proponents can produce an effective insect repellent since garlic has insecticidal properties. By using it, there will be a more efficient and powerful action of the product that are intended to repel mosquitoes.
