EFFICACY OF SOME PLANT EXTRACTS AGAINST DENGUE MOSQUITO (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE)

Mosquitoes are well known for being vectors of many pathogens causing diseases. The widespread use synthetic insecticides in mosquito control has resulted the growth resistance to pesticides and degradation ecosystem. Therefore, plants have become alternative sources recent years. In current research five viz. eucalyptus, neem, mint, niazbow, ginger canola were evaluated against Aedes aegypti A. albopictus mosquitoes. toxicity crude extracts all third stage larvae spp. gave significant results. study showed a very substantial difference length repellents bite safety between control. Canola was less effective as compared other test plants. All essential oils tested offered protection minimum period 33 minutes may therefore be included standard list species. Neem oil repellent had best repellence both species with defence times (246±15.78) (256±14.87) respectively egypti well. time (14.34±0.00) (19.24±0.00) used power albopictus. Ginger least 35.76±4.99 33.76±4.99 respectively. These two better than formulations statistically from each other. It is concluded that these can alternatives management mosquitos
