Many processes fall for the control of mosquito but the cross resistance didn’t let them successful. Plants are viewed as the natural industry of such chemicals which have promising medicinal and pesticidal properties. Ocimum basilicum regularly known as Basal and Calotropis procera which is famous as apple of Sodom has shown the insecticidal activities against mosquito. Ocimum basilicum and Calotropis procera has adulticidal and larvicidal activity against laboratory reared mosquito population. For the study plants of Calotropis procera and Ocimum basilicum has collected from Lahore city. Leaves stem and flower of Ocimum basilicum and leaves of Calotrops procera had ground after drying for their soxhelet extraction. Their methanol and aequeous extract was used against laboratory reared mosquito to check their efficacy. Serial dilutions of each plant was given to third and fourth instar larvae and three day old adult. Third and fourth instar larvae has shown complete mortality within one hour in 700ppm and 650 ppm of methanol extract of both plant whereas in water extract the concenteration were 450ppm and 500ppm. Mortality of larvae and adult mosquito has been recorded after every ten minutes for one hour and then after 24 hours. The lethal dose concentration from dose-probit model is 700ppm of and 650ppm (methanol extraction) and 450ppm and 500ppm (water extraction) of Ocimum basilicum and Calotropis procera. according The current study has checked the efficacy of indigenous plant extracts against mosquito for eco-friendly approach to control mosquito.
