ORGANIC MOSQUITO TRAP Mosquito traps are really useful nowadays. Why? Well‚ obviously‚ mosquitoes are really irritating and may cause deadly disease; example dengue. So the main purpose of our Investigatory Project is to at least lessen the widespread mosquito procreation. Our Investigatory Project is very easy to make and very affordable. The things that are needed in this project can be seen inside our own dwelling place. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Marinel
