Abstract
This study determined the effectiveness of lemon grass and baby oil mixture as insect (mosquito) repellant.
The effectiveness of lemon grass and baby oil mixture as insect (mosquito) repellant was tested

The investigations tested their project on their siblings.
Statement of the problem:
It is really effective to make insect repellant without any mixture of chemicals.
Hypothesis:
Based on the stated problem, it was hypothesized that the lemon grass and baby oil mixture can indeed be an effective insect (mosquito) repellant.
Background of the study:
June to November is rainy season. During the rainy days many people feels cold. During rainy days some waters stored in tires, canals and dump site so many insects like mosquito hide and produce their population. So we need to make insect (mosquito) repellant made of lemon grass and baby oil mixture. So we need to be wise in budgeting our money. Result of Discussion:
This study proves the effectiveness of lemon grass and baby oil mixture as insect repellant. It was hypothesized that lemon grass and the baby oil mixture is also effective as insect repellant without chemicals.
Conclusion:
Therefore we conclude that lemon grass and baby oil mixture can be an insect (mosquito) repellant.
