Abstract

Flies and other insects are pests that could be a nuisance at home and they could cause a turn off to customers in restaurants. These insects breed very fast especially in our tropical climate and could contaminate our food causing food poisoning. Based on the issue, HE-PRO - an ergonomic, green yet user-friendly device- is created. The design is made to be suitable in size, weight and appearance, appropriate to be used in any areas, namely in kitchens, restaurants, stalls or others. The design of HE-PRO is influenced by the duck head because the designer believes that the duck form is attractive to most people. Moreover, by applying yellow and white colours onto the device’s body, the design is meant to be fun and attractive to all. This device adopts sustainable sources such as herbs to repel the insects especially flies. Herbs have been proven to be the original and effective household cleaners, disinfectants, and bug repellents since thousands of years before we started turning to chemicals.
