Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Mosquito-borne diseases continue to pose a significant threat to public health around the world. One of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of these diseases is to control mosquito populations. Mosquito coils, a common household product used to repel mosquitoes, are a popular choice due to their ease of use and effectiveness. However, many commercially available mosquito coils contain chemicals that may be harmful to human health and the environment. This research project aims to develop a safer and more environmentally friendly mosquito repellent insecticide coil. The production process involves using natural ingredients known for their mosquito-repellent properties, such as citronella, lemongrass, and eucalyptus oils. These essential oils have been proven to effectively repel mosquitoes while being safe for human use. The research will focus on optimizing the formulation of the mosquito repellent insecticide coil to ensure maximum efficacy against mosquitoes. Various ratios of the essential oils will be tested to determine the most effective combination. In addition, different binders and burning agents will be evaluated for their impact on the performance of the mosquito coil. The production process will involve blending the essential oils with the selected binders and burning agents to create a homogenous mixture. The mixture will then be molded into coil shapes and dried to produce the final product. The mosquito repellent insecticide coil will be tested in a controlled environment to determine its effectiveness in repelling mosquitoes. Furthermore, the safety of the mosquito coil will be assessed to ensure that it does not pose any health risks to humans or the environment. Toxicity studies will be conducted to evaluate the impact of the coil on non-target organisms and the surrounding ecosystem. Overall, this research project aims to develop a mosquito repellent insecticide coil that is both effective in repelling mosquitoes and safe for human use and the environment. By utilizing natural ingredients and optimizing the formulation of the coil, this project has the potential to provide a safer alternative to commercially available mosquito coils. The findings of this research could contribute to the development of sustainable mosquito control strategies and help reduce the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases.

Thesis Overview

<p> </p><div><p><strong>INTRODUCTION</strong></p><p><strong>1.0 &nbsp; INSECTICIDES (General Overview)</strong></p><p>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.</p><p></p></div><h3></h3><br> <br><p></p>
