Abstract

Recently, the eco-friendly plant-based synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) has gained prominence as a promising approach for mosquito control. Combining Lgeo-AgNPs with Boric Acid Toxic Bait (BATB) represents a novel approach exploiting adult mosquitoes' feeding behaviour and utilizing boric acid as a potent toxin.
