×Mosquitoes Transmit Serious Human Diseases, Causing Millions Of Deaths Every Year. However, Mosquito Control Is Facing A Threat Due To The Emergence Of Resistance To Synthetic Insecticides. With Regard This Issue Insecticides Of Plant Origin May Serve As A Promising Alternative Bio-Control Techniques .Consequently, The Purpose Of This Study Was To Assess The Larvicidal Potentiality Of Bandotan (Ageratum Conyzoides), An Annual Herb With A Long History Of Traditional Medicinal Uses In Many Countries In The World, For Controlling Three Most Important Species Of Mosquitoes Such As Aedes Aegypti , Culex Quinquefasciatus, Anopheles Maculatus. The Crude Leaf Extract Was Prepared With Different Concentration (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 50%) Of Methanol Solution Using Soxhlet Apparatus. Afterwards, The Crude Leaf Extract Solution Was Applied On The Three Species Of Cultured Mosquitoes And Observed Its Effect Since The Beginning Until 24 Hours. In The Context Of Quick Response And High Mortality The 15% Methanol Solution Containing 10 G Crude Leaf Powder Showed The Best Result. Nevertheless, The Lc50 Value Was Determined By Using Probit Analysis. In The End, This Research Findings Demonstrated That Leaf Extract Of A.Conyzoides Can Be Utilized As A Highly Potential And Ecofriendly Larvicide For Controlling Three Most Important Species Of Mosquitoes.
