V- Introduction
A.Background of the Study
Studies have shown that chemical pesticides linger in the atmosphere, the ground and in our waterways long after they have ceased to be used in a given area. Almost 100 years of chemicals placed on fields across the world all add up to quite a bit of lingering pollution! In addition to helping improve the environment and decreasing the chances of accelerated disease in your family, going organic can provide mental and physical benefits and long-term money-savings. We can make an all-natural insect repellent which is affordable and environment friendly. Through research we found out that there are different kinds of natural repellents and this experiment was the one we chose because of its benefits.
B.Statement of the Project/Objectives
•General Objective
As a human being who needs oxygen for breathing in order to live, we would like to help decrease air pollution in the surroundings. •Specific Objective
The Essay on Cacao Leaves As Insect Repellant
Insecticides or ovicides are widely used before and after these years to kill or destroy mosquito eggs. However, some of these ovicides/insecticides being sold in the market have very strong ingredients that pose danger to our environment as well as to us, persons. Moreover, these insecticides sold in the market are expensive. Cacao leaves can kill insects because of a toxic chemical they contain. ...
Insects found in our houses namely cockroaches, spiders and ants are a big nuisance and disturbance to our human lives. Having an all-natural insect repellent may help to get rid of them. •Significance of the Study
We did not just help ourselves but we can also help others and most especially we can help save Mother Earth.
