Abstract
The study dealt with the effect of peppermint oil and anise oil and the pesticide SIVANTO in the control of C. pipiens mosquitoes, and the concentrations used for peppermint oil and anise oil and pesticide SIVANTO (0.5,1,1.5,2) the lowest killing rate for peppermint oil was 2.6% after 48 hours of treatment, and the highest killing rate was 4.6% after 48 hours Of the treatment, while anise oil had the lowest killing rate of 3.3% after 48 hours of treatment, and the highest killing rate of 4.6% after 48 hours of treatment, and the lowest killing rate of SIVANTO was 8% after 48 hours of treatment, and the highest killing rate of 10% after treatment. 48 hours of treatment compared to the control treatment in which no homicide occurred.
Keywords: Culex pipiens, peppermint oil, anise oil, pesticide SIVANTO
