I am currently involved in this project work examination and am quite keen on 
creating a natural repellent and also a trap against cockroaches. I heard that 
cockroaches are attracted to the scent of cockroaches and that cinnamon and 
pandan leaves make good repellents against cockroaches..are these statements 
true? I really need to know...thanks!
