Methods of killing mosquito larvae and controlling an adult mosquito population by using a-mangostin, 3,6,8-yrihydroxy-2-methoxy-l,7-bis(3-methylbut-2-enyl)xanthen-9-one, or a salt, solute, hydrate or solvate thereof. Mosquito larvae are killed by contacting a lethal dose of a-mangostin with mosquito larvae. Adult mosquito populations are controlled by treating a mosquito larvae population with a lethal dose of a-mangostin. |
