Insect repellants are important tools for prevention of insect-borne disease as well as painful or uncomforatable insect bites.And on of natural insect repellant is the lemon grass(Cymbopogon Citratus).Determing the effectiveness of lemon grass as insect repellent is the main goal of the study.Specially,it intends to apply the Steam Distillation Technique in obtainingthe natural elements and essential oil of lemon grass such as citraland citronella.Using two candies as observation, one is with extract of lemon grass and other is without extract of lemon grass.In fourteen minutes,one candy that without lemon grass,approach by ants but the candy with lemon grass is just ignored by ants.The study has found out htat lemon grass is an effective and alternative natural insect repellent.The result of the present study would provide knowledge and information about lemon grass as insect repellent.Additionally,this study will produce significant and relevant information for future studies regarding to insect repellent.
