There are so many diseases which are spread by mosquitoes and for their control aspects there are numbers of products which are available. To overcome the harmful effects of commercially available mosquito repellent formulations, herbal formulations can help in developing eco friendly and cheaper alternatives. With this view in mind Lantana camera leaf powder was utilized to make incense sticks and used to evaluate mosquito repellence by smoke toxicity test and compared with commercial product. The test revealed that the control could show that the control (commercial product) 100% mortality in just 2 minute and took 30 minutes for complete burning. It created some side effects like headea, watery eye and coughing in some member. The experimental product took 40 minutes for complete burning with 100% mortality with any side effect. The cost of experimental product just 25% of commercial product. The presence of different phytochemicals in different solvent extract corroborates the insecticidal activity. Antibacterial activity was also found against three test organism Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas sp. and B. megaterium. This result may be use for conformation and development drugs.
