Abstract

The research tries to know the impact extruder for extracts of aqueous, alcohol and oily seeds cumin Cuminum cyminum concentration (2, 5, 10, 15 and 20) % and study of their impact extruder on adult mosquitoes, using pigeons as a food source, also tackle to know influence extruder to extract oil at the hands of donors compared with the extruder trade of insect repellent. The results showed more than extracted oil to alcohol and water in the expulsion of adult mosquitoes and for all concentrations was the percentage of expulsions (50.00, 81.50 and 93.33)%, respectively, it is clear from that the extracted oil has provided high protection to areas of treatment pigeons body for the duration of the experiment, and the results showed that treatment of the hands of donors by oil extract has provided protection for about an hour which is comparable to the period of protection provided by the commercial extruder.
