  "abstract": "Background & objectives: Mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and filaria severely affect the health and economy of the countries which are endemic to these diseases. With the revolution in technology, insecticidal paint has been used to control mosquitoes and other pests in developed countries. Methods: In the Indian market, several water and oil-based surface coating paints are available that somehow also affect mosquito longevity. Results: Among these paints, we have selected a few brands for the present study and observed that water-based paint brand (WBP1) was found to be more potent in reducing vector density with KD50: 9.89, 13.09, 15.75, and 19.69 min; KD90: 25.59, 36.88, 38.88, 60.55 min with 92.5, 75, 75 and 30% mortality after the time period of 3, 30, 60, and 90 days respectively. In another brand paint (WBP2), knockdown time found to be KD50: 8.28, 9.86, 20.84 and 33.83 min; KD90: 24.53, 29.48, 49.55, 81.95 min with mortality of 90, 67.5, 16.66 and 5% after time duration of 3, 30, 60 and 90 days respectively. Oil based paint (OBP1) also found to be mosquitocidal with KD50: 12.11, 19.03, 27.48 and 37.36 min; KD90: 31.74, 53.19, 67.97, 81.38 min having 75, 70, 20 and 10% mortality in the time duration of 3, 30, 60 and 90 days after treatment. Interpretation & conclusion: This study may potentially help open a window for sustainably controlling mosquito borne diseases.",
