The problem could be formulated to determine if oil of citronella ie effective as an insect repellant. The hypothesis would be that when oil of citronella is applied to the human skin, it can effectively repel mosquitoes. Studies have shown that oil of citronella repels mosquitoes and other insects rather than killing them. It was found from studies that it masks scents attractive to insects. As a result, the insects find it hard to find their target to feed on its' blood. Citronella oil is an essential oil extracted from the leaves and stems of different species of Cymbopogon (lemonrass).
The significance of these studies is to show that oil of citronella is mostly benign to the skin and also provides an effective repellant to insects including mosquitoes for a 30-60 minute period, thus providing relief to people such as geologists who work in mosquito infested areas like the Canadian Barren Grounds. The scope of these studies was to test for the repellancy of this natural product on key insects such as mosquitoes and lice. The delimination of the study was to mainly apply the oil to human skin and then introduce the mosquitoes and note their reaction to the oil. The term is mainly the definition of the oil above.
