Popis:	The larvicidal activity of light petroleum and ethanolic extracts from leaves of Steganotaenia araliacea (Umbclliferae), a plant traditionally used in pest control in northern Nigeria, was evaluated against the fourth instar larvae of Culex quinqaefasciatus Say. The repellent and antifeedant properties of the plant were evaluated on adult forms of Triholium casteneum Hbst. (red flour beetle). Significant (P < 0.05) repellent and antifeedant effects were noted in wheat powder treated with extract as compared with controls. The results provide sufficient justification for the folkloric usage of the plant in pest control.
