Abstract

Insects such as flies and mosquitoes are such an annoyance to everyone. It causes discomfort towards people and one of the main sources of diseases such as malaria, dengue and cholera. Common insect repellents that we often see on sale are electronic and aerosol which are not eco-friendly. For example, aerosol contains chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) that are harmful to the environment and community. In fact, most electronic insect repellents are sold at higher price in the market. Hence, this project was studied to solve these problems by replacing hazardous insect repellent with safer and eco-friendly insect repellent which is “Amosectkit” that consists of insect repellent gel, spray and bracelet. The first objective of this project is to conserve the environment and ensuring environmental sustainability. The second objective is promoting the insect repellent kit at affordable price and lastly is creating a handy and travel-friendly insect repellent kit. The three items in Amosectkit are eco-friendly and non-toxic as they are made from mixture of natural ingredients that was proven effective to repel flies and mosquitoes such as lemon, lemon grass, oregano and basil. Moreover, this kit also contains refill so that it will be easy for users to refill once it used up. This product is targeted to be used by everyone. For instance, outdoor lovers can take this kit with them while camping, hiking or travelling while non-outdoor lovers can still use this kit inside their home. In conclusion, the future development is to produce a formulation that could enhance the longevity of the repellents using advance laboratory equipment. Nevertheless, improvements in terms of packaging into a more creative shapes and sizes are necessary in the future to meet the interests of consumers.
