    Background:

    • High mosquito density in Noorpur Shahan, Islamabad, due to lack of control measures.
    • Mosquito-borne diseases pose a significant threat in the region.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of Bacillus sphaericus against mosquito larvae.
    • To determine the duration of Bacillus sphaericus effectiveness.

    Main Methods:

    • Field application of Bacillus sphaericus in Noorpur Shahan.
    • Larval density monitoring for seven weeks post-application.

    Main Results:

    • Bacillus sphaericus demonstrated significant larval control.
    • Effective mosquito larvae reduction was observed for up to seven weeks.

    Conclusions:

    • Bacillus sphaericus is a promising biological control agent for mosquito larvae.
    • Sustained larval control can be achieved with Bacillus sphaericus application.
