Abstract	Aqueous (physiological saline) extracts of seed kernel from seven indigenous plants were initially screened for their antimosquito activity against eggs, larvae of all instars, and pupae of Aedes aegypti. Among various seed kernels tested, the soapnut Sapindus emarginatus (Sapindaceae) extract was found to exhibit, for the first time, a strong antimosquito activity as evident from its ability to inflict 100% mortality of all the developmental stages of A. aegypti. Furthermore, the kernel extract of S. emarginatus also exerted ovicidal, larvicidal, and pupicidal activity against two other important vector mosquitoes, namely, Anopheles stephensi and Culex quinquefasciatus. Differential susceptibility of the various developmental stages of the three mosquito species exposed to soapnut extract was also noticed. The kernel extract was found to be safe for two nontarget aquatic insects tested: the larvae of Chironomus costatus and the nymphs of Diplonychus rusticus. Lethal concentration values of soapnut extract to these nontarget insects were always threefold or fivefold higher than those that produced 100% mortality of the larvae of the three mosquito species examined. The findings of this study clearly demonstrate that the aqueous kernel extract of S. emarginatus has potent antimosquito activity detectable against all the developmental stages of three important vector mosquito species as well as it is safe for nontarget aquatic organisms, and thus this new botanical resource could be used as an eco-friendly alternative biocidal agent in control of mosquitoes.
