Best Answer

Pandan amaryllifolius (a tropical plant in the Screwpinegenus) is used as repellent against German cockroaches (Blattella germanica)

An analysis of the volatile essential oils of Pandan amaryllifolius by MacLeod and Pieris (1982) revealed that this plant species contains mainly terpenes and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (6-42%), as well as a major aroma component – 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline(1-(3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-5-yl)ethanone, short:2AP, C6H9NO) (Yoshihashi, 2002).
