Introduction A. Background of the Study The group conducted this study because we want to prove that Lanzones peelings have its important use. The team sees its possible use in order for us to make another useful thing just like our product, a mosquito coil (katol). As we all know, a katol is always used as a mosquito repellant. Hence, the committee aims to prove that Lanzones pelings are also capable of being used as an ingredient to create an effective mosquito repellant.

Irritated with mosquito outbreaks during the rainy season? Our group is here to show you that there’s another way to drive away these pests, in a way that doesn’t add to environmental pollution. After conducting research on lanzones, our group found out that peelings from the said fruit contain triterpenes that can repel mosquitoes. Hence, we developed the idea of producing a mosquito coil out of lanzones peelings. This project can be beneficial in different ways. Not only does it help get rid of mosquitoes, but also is affordable and easy to make. B. Statement of the Problem • Is it possible to create a mosquito coil, or katol, made out of lanzones peelings?
• Would it be effective as much as its counterpart of the commercial katol?
• Would the way on how the katol is made affect its properties and use?
• Does lanzones peelings have specific properties that suits it for making it into a katol?
• What would be the effect on the user’s health? C. Objectives This project aims to:
• make a mosquito coil out of lanzones peelings,
• make an organic, chemical-free mosquito coil,
• produce a useful product using biodegradable waste,
• test the feasibility of a lanzones-based

    ABSTRACT: Background: The introduction of West Nile virus in Canada is changing the perception that mosquitoes are nothing more than nuisance pests. Interest is increasing in ways to protect against mosquitoes. One of the commonest is the use of insect repellents. Methods: Tests were undertaken to determine the effectiveness of three mosquito repellents: 95% DEET, Avon Skin So Soft bath oil, and a “special mixture” of substances thought to have insect repellent qualities. The repellents were compared with each other and against a placebo in eight separate test sessions. During each session, the three repellents and placebo were tested simultaneously. Each session lasted between 90 and 120 minutes. After every session, the repellents were thoroughly washed from the test site and a minimum of 72 hours elapsed between tests. There were four test sites: the author’s right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg. All test…

    Our group observed that many people especially children are prone in getting sickness from mosquitoes and may suffer sickness like Dengue and Malaria that may lead to death. Our group also observed that we can create a mosquito trapper and also a mosquito killer using recycled and improvised materials. In this, we can save more money and it is safer to use than mosquito killer lamps, insect killer racket, mosquito coil, mosquito sprays and other mosquito or insect killers that are not safe with children. Our idea of a mosquito trapper using sugar and yeast may be dirty and unpleasant to see in our front yards, but as mentioned, it is safe and is cheap. It is also easy to create it and we can save more of our money instead of buying electric mosquito or insect killer devices.…

    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.…

    This study is done to give importance to the chili and kamias fruit. Not just in food, but we wanted to produce a mosquito killer out of them. For all we know that chili has been tested and proven to be the one good ingredient in mosquito killer making and what if it is added by the acidic property of kamias fruit? The researchers wanted to know the effect of the combined property of each fruit.…

    One of these illnesses carrying insect is the Mosquito. We may be somehow naive of the other uses of Lanzones aside from its nutriously juicy fruits. After eating Lanzones we may tend to just throw away its peelings without knowing its benefits. There have been some studies that like other plants Lanzones peel have a certain compound that can repel mosquito.…

    For the natural repellent with the most scientific backing, look to lemon eucalyptus oil, the sole natural ingredient to get the EPA’s (Environmental protection agency) endorsement. Numerous studies show that it works just as effectively as low levels of DEET (N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide) (7 percent to 15 percent concentrations) by masking the body’s natural odors. Look for a 30 percent to 40 percent concentration for maximum effectiveness.…

    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.…
