How To: Make an All-Natural Insect Repellent with Cacao Leaves

Science investigatory projects suck, or at least seem to at first. But you shouldn't let school drag you down. Instead, use your homework assignment as an opportunity to solve a problem you've always been interested in. And it doesn't hurt if the end result is eco-friendly, either.

Take a gander at this video from YouTube user ohmydolly to learn how to mix a natural and eco-friendly insect repellent that's made with affordable materials. Not only will you be getting rid of pesky bugs from your house, but you will also be helping out the environment with these toxin-free ingredients.

Note: feel free to use this as your own science project, with or without changes.

Hi. Can I ask a question? How long will it take to boil the cacao leaves?

Hi. My son has an assignment, to do research project. Your study caught my attention, we have several cacao plants. May I ask permission if my son can use your study and modify or do it differently. thanks.

I'm sure the video maker would have no issues with you using this for your son's project.

The author or creator has clearly stated that we are all free to use the science project above with or without changes. As friendly or polite as it may seem, it could be very annoying if everyone will ask if they can use the project above when there's a note clearly stating it is okay for others to use it.

SHOUTOUT to the creator of the project! Thank you so much for sharing! ;D
