Formulation And Evaluation of Herbal Mosquito Repellent Coil
Controlling mosquitoes and taking precautions against mosquito bites are two of the most crucial ways to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Using natural ingredients to create a mosquito repellent coil was the main objective of this study. In this composition, lemongrass oil and lemonene oil were used as pesticides. Following the extraction of these oils, the proper proportions of gum acacia, water, camphor, turmeric, and activated charcoal were added to serve as a binder. Over time, the coil base material's many chemicals might burn slowly, decreasing or releasing insects. An effective and safe method of mosquito repellent is the use of naturally occurring compounds. Its formulation, evaluation, and characterization were finished for safe and effective use.
