Its nut shell extracts possess biological effects such as larviciding. Solvent extracts of the nut shell of this plant were reported to contain anacardic acid AA . However AA is a liquid mixture of four compounds differentiating by the hydrophobicity of side chains making it water-insoluble. In this study we aim to overcome this drawback by converting AA into a sodium salt which exists in anionic condition and then combine with ethanol extract of lime peel to create a new pellet product MCA to evaluate the ovicidal and repellent activities against Aedes mosquitoes at their breeding grounds. The results showed that the efficiency of yielding salt form from the AA liquid extract was 96 which was then mixed with lime peel extract and additives at a 2 1 7 ratio to produce MCA pellets. The formulation demonstrated egg hatch inhibition upon Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus at 50 ppm compared to the negative control . Similarly at the same concentration MCA exhibited and repellent activities toward Ae. albopictus and Ae. aegypti from the breeding .
