Special thanks to our close friends, who had the time to support us and
been there through our moments of ups and downs. We cherish their presence
during times of struggles.
Lastly, we are forever grateful for all the people who had been here
supporting us and believing on what we can achieve.
Acknowledgement
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Ms. Georgete Boca our
Practical Research 1 teacher for guiding and providing us knowledge towards our
journey. She provided continuous support and optimism for us to strive further.
Without her presence, guidance, and persistent help this would not have been
possible.
We sincerely thank Ms. Rhoda Yson for her guidance and encouragement
into carrying this work. Being one of our panelists who humbly guided us into
achieving better. She showed nothing but support in our journey.

Introduction
1.) The objective is to produce an organic mosquito coil with the use of
Kakawate leaves (Gliricidia Sepium). Organic by means that it has fewer
chemicals that can harm someone’s health.
2.) The aim of the study is to determine if Kakawate leaves is an effective
mosquito coil.
Hypothesis
The study will be conducted at brgy. San Guillemo, brgy. Maybancal, brgy.
San Juan, brgy. San Pedro and brgy. Lagundi that is located at Morong, Rizal
Philippines. These places were recently become mosquito habitats due to the
weather that causes some people to have dengue. Province of Rizal is part of
Region IV-A Calabarzon that also show a huge number of dengue cases.

Conceptual Framework
The second box contains the process on how to make a mosquito coil.
The following process are; preparing the materials, drying of the leaves,
extracting of the leaves, mixing of the ingredients, molding o the made substance
and letting dry on another days.
The third box contains the finished product or the output which is an
effective kakawate leaves (Glricidia Sepium) as a mosquito coil.
The line of the output to the input is feedback if ever when conducting the
study have.

People. This study will give some knowledge that Kakawate leaves, which
are being ignored by many people, are essential and can be use as mosquito
killer. It will help people prevent or lessen the number of casualties related to
mosquito diseases.
Society. The study will also contribute to the benefit of society knowing
that a lot of solution are already propose in killing mosquitoes but the numbers of
Filipino’s having dengue are still increasing around the globe.
Future Researchers. This will help them as they conduct similar studies
about mosquito coil and/or repellent.
Definition of terms
Aedes aegypti - the yellow fever mosquito is a mosquito that can spread dengue
fever, chikungunya, Zika fever, Mayaro and yellow fever viruses, and other
diseases.
Mosquito coil - a spiral typically made from a dried paste of pyrethrum powder,
which when lit burns slowly to produce a mosquito-repellent smoke.
The review of the study focuses on the different related literature and
studies that can help the present study to be specific this study will focus in the
mosquito coils and in Gliricidia sepium (kakawate) leaves. Facts were from the
Internet in order to get the needed information for the study.
Foreign Literature
According to Cofie (2009), the report is said have emphasised that the
billows of smoke from the burning coil that keeps the mosquitoes at bay also find
their way into the lungs of humans. Sometimes a mosquito coil user catches a
cold, nose gets stuffed up and his throat is scratchy. According to experts,
mosquito coils are made mostly from a chemical named pyrethrum, which stings
the eyes of mosquitoes and thus keep them at bay. Pyrethrum has been in use
for centuries as an insecticide, and is well trusted. It is natural extract from the
chrysanthemum flower, produced by drying the leaves of the flower. Breathing in
too much smoke is also said to increase the risk of asthma and cause persistent
wheezing in children. Smokeless coils do not make things any easier because
the harmful substances are still in the coil. According to reports, pyrethrum enters
the lungs while breathing, and at high doses, can potentially damage the central
nervous and immune systems. Common symptoms from exposure to pyrethrum
can include headache, nausea, vomiting, skin or eye irritation and inflammation.
If ingested, it can cause numbing of the tongue and lips, convulsions, muscular
fibrillation, respiratory issues and even death.

METHODOLOGY OF RESEARCH
This chapter deals with the research design, it also describes the subject
and procedure of the study that deals with the step in making mosquito coil made
in kakawate leaves (Gliricidia Sepium).
Research Design
At first, Kakawate leaves are burnt in a place where there are a lot of
mosquitoes. After burning a one branch of kakawate leaves, the presence of
mosquitos’ decreases in an approximately four hours. The researchers then
proceed in experimenting and creating kakawate leaves as well as testing it in
mosquito habitats.
The proponents observe the effect of the mosquito coil within two days
and the presence of mosquitoes are not seen. To meet the study’s objective, the
researchers also compare the effect of Tiger Katol and Kakawate coil in terms of
killing mosquito and human health.
It is highly recommended that further studies must be done for the precise
results with the help of higher laboratory test and professional scientists.
SUBJECT OF THE STUDY
Leaves.
The materials that were used in the study were Dried Kakawate leaves,
Kakawate extract, charcoal, hot water, bowl, gum Arabic/gum powder, oven, foil,
Oven
Activated Charcoal
Hot Water

Extraction
A. Preparing of Materials
B. Leaf Extraction
The dry and wet ingredients are mix until the materials act one. Mix
four spoons of Activated charcoal, 10 spoons of dried Kakawate leaves,
gum Arabic, Kakawate extract and hot water.
After the baking of the coil, the almost finished products are dried on the
sun for 3 days.
