HISTORY OF DESIGN - SHUBHI JHAWAR (MOSQUITO REPELLENT)
MOSQUITO REPELLENT
Here I choose a
mosquitoes repellent machine i.e. ALL OUT as this is the daily use in
thing in my life.
From early only mosquitos was an issue. But people were finding ways to prevent themselves from mosquitos.
·
People start using dhoop's smoke for keeping mosquito away from houses.
·
Also uses leaves as a mode of generating smoke which repel mosquitoes.
· Different body oils were used after bath to prevent mosquito bites.
Then the invention of MOSQUITO
COIL came into existence.
A mosquito coil is just
like the one used in different religious rituals which gives soothing smells. This is just coil shaped.
They were made from dried pyrethrum paste. Now a days they are made of
pyrethroid insecticides repellents. When burned, these
substances give off a specific smell that helps repelling mosquito.
The use was started in the last decade of the 19th century. A Japanese couple, made first mosquito coil burning pyrethrum powder and starch sticks.
They created the spiral shape in 1895, for long lasting. In the middle of
the 20th century coils were started to produce in industry.
THE LIQUID REPELLENT MACHINE
A mosquito repellent machine needs a liquid repellent. This type of mosquito repellents come in the form of vaporizers.

They are efficient at preventing the mosquitoes and
that is why it is still existing. Organic
liquid vaporizers are user friendly as they only use natural compounds such as
essential oils.
While the liquid vaporizers
are the most common thing to be use in a household for repelling the mosquito,
the FAST CARD are introduced as instant use and throw thing.
It is made from paper and is invented in India. It give fastest result in second and works for hours.
Later mosquito repellent
cream was introduced i.e. DEET. US army invented repellent cream for military person for preventing infection from insects.
After this many other
creams and fabric roll on and gels are introduced in the market for general society, such as Odomos.
This shows up an effective result as it is easy to use. It can be applied just
like applying the normal cream.

The liquid vaporizer,
fast card, cream, fabric roll on and gels are the most common things used as mosquito
repellents in the present.
In the future, there
might be technologies which digitally can be use full for getting rid of
mosquitos.
As a designer I can see
in the upcoming years there will be technologies which may reduce the count of
mosquitos, and the more eco-friendly ways which won’t effect the human body
this much.
Over all I observe that
the basic ingredient used contain the things which are used to repel the
mosquitos.
