Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Rapid development of resistance in vector mosquitoes to synthetic insecticides is a major challenge for malaria control. The use of plant‐derived essential oils (EOs) is an attractive strategy in controlling mosquito populations because they are environmentally safe and may have a lower chance of developing resistance.
