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.
