## Elevator Pitch
Repelent made from extracts. Our product is eco-friendly and uses the residues as raw material

## Climate Problem
Every year, livestock sector loses $172000 MXN because of insects plagues that make the cows ill affecting milk and meat production and the actions currently applied are based on products with chemicals that bring new problems such as soil infertility and water polution. In the other hand, dengue and chikungunya represent a major problem nowadays in Mexico and it is important to create solutions taking in mind the importance of preserving the environments. The product just requires little ajustments to have two final products that can be sold to breeders and also to people that wants to repel viral vectors.
