Insect Repellent Longevity, Aroma Intensity and Efficacy Studies

Project Description

MULTIPLE TESTING
 Environmental Laboratory needed for conducting longevity, aroma intensity and efficacy studies that of eco-friendly scented wax repellent that will be used in repelling fruit flies. We used basil leaves with peppermint oil as the main catalyst. Because those two main catalysts consist of repelling properties that will effectively reduce the fruit flies. Our aim is to create a non-toxic wax repellent in repelling fruit flies. Specifically, we will focus on their effectiveness, longevity, and aroma intensity. Effectiveness will be determined by observing how quickly fruit flies leave the vicinity after the wax balls are placed and measuring the reduction in their numbers near fruits over time. Longevity will be assessed by monitoring how long the aroma remains potent enough to repel fruit flies and analyzing the rate at which the wax balls melt or lose their scent under varying environmental conditions. Aroma intensity will be evaluated by recording the initial strength of the scent upon activation and tracking how well it is retained over time, even in different temperature or humidity levels. These tests aim to demonstrate the usefulness, reliability, and safety of our scented wax balls for effective fruit fly management in various settings. We would appreciate it if you could provide us with the following information:

1. Availability for testing: When would be a suitable time to visit your facility to conduct these tests?
2. Cost details: Could you kindly provide an estimate of the costs for each test? Additionally, do you offer any discounts for students?
3. Any additional requirements: Please let us know if there are any specific documents or preparations required on our end prior to the testing.

We are grateful for your assistance and are hopeful for your positive response.
