Yes, gmelina bark can be used as a pesticide.

Specifically, the woody plant in question (Gmelina arborea) can be used as a natural repellent of pests in general and insects in particular. The bark, flowers, and roots all may be employed to the purpose of pest control. Additionally, the entire tree represents environmental control since its behavior is allelopathic, or acceptable to some organisms and intolerable to others.

Well it could be but the after affects are a little harsh so I as a biologist would not recommend it.

I can find no indications that it can be. Perhaps it would be a good research project.

-it's possible since gmelina arborea fruit extract has a toxic property.
