TOPIC OF INTEREST:EFFECTIVENESS OF LEMONGRASS AS

INSECT REPPELENT
INTRODUCTION
These insect repellents help prevent and control the outburst
of insect borne borne diseases,dengue fever,stings and
bites.With that,the researchers gained interest in utilizing the
plant as the main ingredient in the product due to its
uncommonness in being utilized in the creation of alternative
products,in this case,an Insect Repellent.
THE KEY PEOPLE OF THIS STUDY ARE: Hannah Shane Ajo,
Jean Antolijao, Kayla Gabrielle Aranda, Jann Louie Baculi,
Christian Paul Labares, Christopher Shane Ragas.
METHODOLOGIES OF THE PREVIOUS STUDY
 10ml of lemongrass essential oil
 10ml of water
 10ml of alcohol
 First thing to do is to set the pot filled with purified water
on the heat source.
 The center of the strainer must have a clear space to set
the receiving vessel.
 Position the pot cover inside – out the strainer and make
sure that the tip is centered over the receiving vessel.
 The pot must be filled with ice as much as it can hold.
 Boil it up and gather the necessary amount of lemongrass
extract from the receiving vessel.
WEAKNESSESS & STRENGTHS OF THIS STUDY
This research focuses on the effectiveness of lemongrass
oil as an alternative insect repellent.Due to having
difficulties in finding test subject,not all kinds of insects
will be tried and tested.Some health benefits that
lemongrass oil gives are analgesic, meaning they relieve
pain.The oil is also an anti- depressant, at the same time
antibacterial.

MY CONTRIBUTION & THE DIFFERENCE FROM THE

PREVIOUS STUDY
My study is different from the previous study because I
added a Garlic(Allium sativum) Works in the same way as
ornamental allium, offering some protective value against
mosquitoes merely by growing in the garden.
