EFFECTIVENESS OF LANZONES-PEEL AS A NATURAL INCENSE MOSQUITO REPELLANT

Abstract

The primary objective of this study was to develop a mosquito repellent product that is accessible, eco-friendly, affordable, effective, and convenient for public use. The researchers aimed to create a product suitable for all individuals, including those with heightened sensitivity to smell, without causing discomfort or inconvenience. An experimental method was employed in this study. The lanzones-peel incense was tested by placing and lighting it in an area known to be infested with mosquitoes to observe its repellent effectiveness. The results showed that the lanzones-peel incense had the ability to eliminate mosquitoes effectively in the testing area. While many consumers prefer high-priced mosquito repellent products available in the market, this study demonstrated that the lanzones-peel incense is a highly effective alternative that is significantly more affordable. The findings indicated that the product can serve as a practical and economical option for mosquito control.
