Abstract

Rationale of the Study Mosquitoes are one of the most frequent insects that affect human health by transmitting diseases through bites. Mosquitoes are responsible for millions of deaths each year around the world. Female mosquitoes need blood to nurture their eggs, breed, and transmit diseases by bloodsucking. Dengue and hemorrhagic fever is a dreadful disease cause by a virus and transmitted by mosquitoes. To prevent the spreading of mosquito bite diseases and to improve the quality of environment and public heath, mosquito control essential. There are a variety of mosquito control strategies that may be used to minimize the quantity of mosquitos [1]. Local councils may use commercial larvicides (pesticides that can kill the larvae) which prevent mosquitoes from maturing to adults. The researchers studied the effects of Madre de Cacao (Gliricidia sepium), guava leaves extract (Psidium guajava), and natural vinegar (Dilute acetic acid) on mosquito larvae in an effort to assist the government in combating the disease and eliminating mosquito carriers. According to studies, the plant Madre de Cacao acts as an insect repellent and has the potential to eliminate a variety of insects that can carry a variety of diseases. Commercial and manmade chemicals are still widely used to eliminate pests that are potential carriers and are pricey. Because of the dangers of high-toxic chemical compounds, the researchers became interested in employing natural pesticides derived from plants as a means of pest control, which led to the creation of this study. The main objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of Madre de Cacao (Gliricidia sepium), Guava leaves extract (Psidium guajava), and natural vinegar (Dilute acetic acid) in eradicating mosquito wrigglers (Culicidae diptera) [2]. The Problem Statement of the problem The study aims to determine if the solution of Madre de Cacao leaves extract, guava leaves extract, and natural vinegar is effective in eradicating mosquito larvicide. Its goal is to provide answers to the following questions:
