1.0 INTRODUCTION

The widespread use of synthetic insecticides poses risks to human health, beneficial insects, and the environment, often leaving toxic residues and contributing to pesticide resistance. As a result, there is growing interest in natural, eco-friendly alternatives.

This project aims to develop an organic insecticide spray using ingredients like liquid glycerin, vinegar, water, isopropyl alcohol, cinnamon, lemongrass, lemon essential oil, clove, and baking soda—each chosen for its natural insect-repelling or antimicrobial properties. The goal is to create a non-toxic, effective spray for household and garden use, reducing reliance on harmful chemical pesticides.

2.0 AIM AND OBJECTIVES

The aim of this project is to formulate and evaluate an organic insecticide spray made from natural, biodegradable ingredients. The goal is to provide a safer, more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional chemical pesticides.

To achieve this, we have set five main objectives:

First, to develop a natural insecticide spray using ingredients such as liquid glycerin, vinegar, water, isopropyl alcohol, cinnamon, lemongrass, lemon essential oil, clove, and baking soda.

Second, we aim to investigate the insect-repellent properties of each of these ingredients—both on their own and when combined in a single formulation.Third, we will test the effectiveness of the spray in repelling or eliminating common household and garden pests.Fourth, we’ll assess how safe the spray is for humans, pets, and the environment.

And finally, we’ll compare the performance of our organic spray with that of traditional chemical insecticides to evaluate its overall effectiveness. Through these steps, we hope to demonstrate that organic solutions can offer a practical and sustainable approach to pest control.
