Specifically, it sought to determine the following:
1. Do Acapulco extract spray kill mosquito?
2. How does the homemade mosquito killer differ in cost and effectiveness from commercialized one?
Significance of the Study

Methodology
Fresh leaves of Acapulco plants, Mosquitoes, Mortar and Pestle, Beaker, and white cloth are gathered. First, the researcher gathered Acapulco leaves. Second, the researcher pounds the leaves to make it into smaller pieces so that it can be easily extracted. After pounding, the researcher extracts the leaves using a white cloth. After the extraction, the researcher put the extracts on a beaker to measure the level of the extract for the testing of product. Then, the researcher put the extract on the spray bottle. Finally, the testing of product is done.
Procedures
The flow process of making mosquito killer spray using the fresh leaves of Acapulco plant.

The table above shows that in 15ml, the mortality of mosquito is 20 minutes and in 20ml, the mortality of mosquito is 15 minutes and in 25 ml the mortality of mosquito is 10 minutes. In 50 ml, the mortality of mosquito is 3 minutes. The higher the volume of the extract, the shorter the mortality of mosquito. The higher the volume of the extract the more effective it is.
