Abstract Mosquito-borne diseases pose significant public health challenges worldwide, necessitating effective control measures to mitigate disease transmission. Aromatic plants, with their natural repellent properties, have emerged as promising alternatives to synthetic insecticides for mosquito control. This review paper provides a comprehensive overview of the efficacy, mechanisms of action, and practical applications of certain aromatic plants in mosquito control. It examines the repellent properties of key aromatic plants such as citronella, lavender, lemon eucalyptus, peppermint, and neem, elucidating their chemical constituents and mechanisms of action against mosquitoes. Additionally, the review discusses the effectiveness, safety considerations, challenges, and limitations associated with the use of aromatic plants for mosquito control. By synthesizing existing literature and research findings, this review aims to inform policymakers, researchers, and practitioners about the potential of aromatic plants in integrated mosquito management strategies and their role in promoting sustainable and eco-friendly approaches to mosquito control.
