Plants contain many biologically active compounds which have potential for the development as medicinal agents. Extracts or essential oils from plants may be alternative sources of mosquito larval control agents, as they constitute a rich source of bioactive compounds that are biodegradable into nontoxic products and potentially suitable for use in control of mosquito larvae. Hence, there is a constant need for developing biologically active plant materials as larvicides, which are expected to reduce the hazards to human and other organisms by minimizing the accumulation of harmful residues in the environment
