Abstract
This research entitled “The Effectivity Of Oregano (Origanum Vulgare) Extract and Tea Tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia) Oil As A Mosquito Repellant Essential Oil For Diffusers” primarily aimed to seek for the effectivity of oregano extract and tea tree oil as a mosquito repellent essential oil for diffusers in terms of appearance, effectiveness, consistency, and odor. The study made use of the experimental research design. In order to arrive at the expected result, the research underwent several processes like experiments, observation, evaluation, and conduction of survey questionnaires. After several months of conducting the study, the variables are tested. It was observed that the produced mosquito repellent essential oil for diffusers is effective. The future researchers are recommended to conduct further research about the current study.
