Abstract

Cymbopogon citratus is a potentially beneficial lotion for repelling mosquitoes due to its ability to repel them. The study aims to investigate the potential of lemongrass as an agent for mosquito repellent lotion. This lotion can be considered a natural, cost-effective, and efficient mosquito repellent. The experiment involved the creation of three unique models utilizing improvised recyclable containers. The researchers inserted a piece of black clothing without any lemongrass mosquito repellent ointment in the first container. The researchers inserted a piece of black clothing infused with 2 mL of lemongrass mosquito repellent ointment in the second container. The researchers inserted a piece of black clothing with 6 mL of lemongrass mosquito repellent lotion in the third and final container. The experiment's findings demonstrated the efficacy of the lemongrass-based mosquito repellent cream. The findings also demonstrated that the efficacy of the lotion varies depending on the quantity administered. Overall, this study demonstrates that Cymbopogon citratus can be employed as a lotion to repel mosquitoes due to its efficacy and advantages for both the community and people.
