Former UK Cheerleader Sentenced for Infanticide, Essential Oil Sprays Ineffective Against Cockroaches

• Laken Snelling, a former University of Kentucky cheerleader, was sentenced to 10 years for killing her newborn son.
• A study from the University of Kentucky found that essential oil sprays kill cockroaches on contact but do not provide lasting control.
• The newborn's body was found stuffed in a trash bag, leading to Snelling's arrest and conviction.
• Essential oil sprays are ineffective for long-term cockroach infestation control, according to the study.
• The study suggests that while essential oil sprays may kill cockroaches on contact, they do not address larger infestations effectively.
