This study focused only on using dried Chrysanthemum petals as mosquito mats. The study aimed to create a mosquito mat out of dried chrysanthemum petals that would repel mosquitoes that will cost a lower price than commercial mats and will not affect the user's health. It sought to find effectiveness of the mat and the relationship between the repelling time and repelling duration.

Significant differences were observed between Tovs Tzand Tovs Toof the repelling time, wherein Tovs T2 had a computed value of 29.96 and Tovs Ts had a computed value of 40.63. The 2 treatments had a value greater than the T tab which is ±6.314. This means that the Null Hypothesis was rejected. Therefore, dried Chrysanthemum petals can be made as a mosquito mat.

No significant difference was observed in Tovs T. of the repelling time wherein it had a computed value of 5.48.It falls under the T tab value. This means that the Null Hypothesis was accepted.
Significant differences were observed between Tovs T1, TovsT2 and Tovs Tsof the repelling duration, wherein Tovs T, had a computed value of 9.37 and Tovs Tz had a computed value of 26.63 and Tovs Ts is 36.25. The 3 treatment were all greater than the T tab. This means that the Null Hypothesis was rejected. Therefore, dried Chrysanthemum petals can be made as a mosquito mat.

T- Test was used to compute for the correlation between the no. of sheets, repelling time and repelling duration. The computed correlation falls at 1, this means that the repelling time and repelling duration are directly proportional. This explains that when the repelling time increases the repelling duration also increases.
