EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT CONCENTRATIONS OF LAUREL (Laurus nobilis) AND OREGANO (Origanum vulgare) LEAF EXTRACTS ON THE MORTALITY OF TERMITESThe application of Oregano Extractdiluted leaf extract of laurel and oregano were applied by spraying. Three (3) sprays of Laurel, Oregano and mix Laurel & Oregano extracts, and ultilize commercial anti-termite in every trial.

So, they use commercial anti-termite sprays that is harmful to us and in our environment. This experiment was conducted to compare the effectiveness of Laurel leaf extract, Oregano Leaf extract, Laurel-Oregano Leaf Extract, and Commercial anti-termite sprays on the mortality of termites.With the information gathered in this study, it says that leaf extracts from Laurel and Oregano can be effective as and alternative to harmful and expensive commercial anti-termite sprays -to produce better solution, use the combination of two extracts.These solutions generate a great importance in housing and construction in our country. That controls the mortality of termites without harming us and environment. But still cost-effective. And give us comfort and assurance of strong and sturdy houses & properties. Recommendations:Analysis of toxic content of Laurel and Oregano.Try Laurel and Oregano extract on other kind of pests.Use another method of applying solutions.Try to use other aromatic plant as alternative anti-termite.
