Our experiment's findings indicate that lemongrass may be a
natural cockroach pesticide. Citral, a natural substance found
in lemongrass, has been demonstrated to have insecticidal
capabilities against a variety of insects, including cockroaches.
Lemongrass is natural and safe to use around people and
RESULTS animals, making it a safer insecticide than conventional ones.
However, more research is needed to establish the ideal
lemongrass composition and concentration for cockroach
DISCUSSION infestation reduction.

SUMMARY

CONCLUSIONS,
RECCOMMENDATIONS
AND RECCOMMENDATIONS
TITLE END
The experiment aimed to find out if lemongrass could be
used as a natural insecticide to get rid of cockroaches
without endangering the environment or people's health.
SUMMARY The results showed that lemongrass may be a potent
cockroach insecticide, and that the fatality rate rose with
spray dosage. It is natural and free of hazardous
CONCLUSIONS chemicals, and more study is needed to determine the
composition and dosage of lemongrass that is most
effective for decreasing cockroach infestations. Citral, the
RECCOMMENDATIONS main component of lemongrass oil, has a powerful
insecticidal effect.
TITLE END
The results of an investigation indicate that lemongrass
SUMMARY
may be a successful and all-natural insecticide against
cockroaches. The application of lemongrass spray
resulted in a continuous decline in the number of
CONCLUSIONS cockroaches and, in some cases, a full eradication.
Lemongrass offers several benefits, including being safe
for humans, pets, and the environment. More
RECCOMMENDATIONS investigation is needed to find the best composition and
concentration of lemongrass for eradicating various
cockroach infestations.
TITLE END
To housekeepers: Lemongrass is an affordable and safe pest
control tool for housekeepers. It can be grown or bought from
SUMMARY vendors and can be used as a spray or in irrigation systems. It has
been proven to deter pests such as ants and aphids.
CONCLUSIONS To farmers: Lemongrass is an affordable and sustainable
pest management tool that can be used as a spray or added
to irrigation systems. It has been shown to deter other pests
such as aphids and ants.
RECCOMMENDATIONS
To communities: Communities can use lemongrass to
manage cockroaches in homes, public areas, and
commercial settings, and community leaders can promote
the use of natural remedies instead of chemical pesticides.
TITLE END
Future researchers: Examine the commercial viability
of pesticides containing lemongrass, consider using
SUMMARY lemongrass in IPM programs as an alternative to chemical
pesticides, and consider interactions between lemongrass
and other natural pesticides.
CONCLUSIONS
In conclusion, lemongrass is a safe, all-natural, and
RECCOMMENDATIONS efficient cockroach pest control alternative to
conventional pesticides. Its advantages, how to use
it, and promoting its acceptance in homes, farms,
and communities are all part of recommending it to
various audiences.
