Hedychium larsenii essential oil (EO) was studied as larvicide and ovideterrent on three mosquito vectors. The chemical composition of the EO was investigated by GC and GC–MS. Ar-curcumene and epi-β-bisabolol were the major EO constituents. These compounds showed high larvicidal and ovideterrent potential on all mosquitoes. Little EO toxicity rates were calculated for non-target mosquito predator Poecilia reticulate.
