ABSTRACT: Mosquito-borne diseases pose significant health challenges globally, particularly in regions such as Bangladesh where chikungunya and dengue have been prevalent in recent years. These diseases are transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes, which breed in stagnant water. Common mosquito-borne diseases include chikungunya, dengue, malaria, and Zika virus, among others. Efforts to control mosquito populations have included the destruction of breeding sites, the application of larvicides, and more recently, the use of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (BTI) in Dhaka. While these measures have helped manage chikungunya, dengue remains a persistent issue despite ongoing control efforts. This paper explores innovative mosquito control strategies, focusing on asphyxiation techniques to reduce mosquito populations and the use of homemade repellents for personal protection against mosquito bites. The effectiveness of these methods in the context of dengue management is critically examined.
