Yes, it is the oil (cymbopogon flexuosus) found within the plant that acts as an insect repellent, and insecticide. It is certainly not effective in all situations and I would suggest that you refer to the EPA's chemical database for more information. It is obviously recognized by them as such; the EPA code for Lemongrass Oil is 040502. It is a tropical grass native to southern India, and Sri Lanka. It's scientific name is Cymbopogon Citratus.
