Mosquito-borne diseases pose significant global health challenges, necessitating effective and sustainable mosquito control strategies. Current control measures rely heavily on chemical pesticides, which face issues of resistance, environmental harm, and public health concerns. This study focuses on the development and testing of innovative biopesticides as eco-friendly alternatives. We provide an overview of biopesticides, their classifications, and mechanisms in mosquito control, highlighting their advantages over traditional chemical pesticides. A newly developed biopesticide, was field-tested for efficacy in reducing mosquito populations, with assessments of environmental impact and community acceptance. The results demonstrated substantial reductions in mosquito density with minimal ecological disruption. Advances in testing methodologies, including laboratory assays, semi-field trials, and molecular tools, were employed to ensure rigorous evaluation. Integration of biopesticides into broader mosquito management programs is discussed, emphasizing the need for scalable production, effective implementation, and adoption in resource-limited settings. This study underscores the potential of biopesticides to transform mosquito control, offering insights for future research, policy development, and stakeholder engagement to address emerging challenges in vector management.
