In the present investigation, the three volatile oils such as Jasminum officinale, Mentha piperita and Prunus dulcis oils were tested for their ovicidal activity against the eggs of selected vector mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti (L.) And Anopheles stephensi (Liston). Among the three oils, the J. officinale and P. dulcis showed a notable effect on the eggs of the selected vector mosquitoes. Since the plant, volatile oils are a mixture of various phytochemical compounds, and thus the various degrees of the activity was noted in the present investigation. As an important component in the intensive vector control program, the application of environmentally safer plant oils will play an imminent role soon.
