Abstract: Millions of people are afflicted by mosquito-borne illnesses every year, which represent a serious danger to world health. Plant extracts have drawn attention for their ability to control mosquitoes as an environmentally acceptable option. This review discusses the effectiveness, modes of action, and future possibilities of plants that have mosquitocidal qualities, as well as the present level of research in this area. Although the molecular mechanisms underlying pyrethrum's insecticidal action are recognised, its repelling qualities are still unclear. Derived from chrysanthemum flowers, pyrethrum is a popular natural insecticide. Chinaberry extracts include active compounds that interfere with mosquito development stages. This results in a sustainable method of controlling mosquito populations, less reliance on synthetic pesticides, and the promotion of sustainable public health initiatives.
