Highlights: [•] Larvicidal activity of Ipomoea cairica and Ageratina adenophora was examined. [•] Different solvent extracts showed the secondary metabolites in different combinations. [•] Low LC50 and LT50 were observed against Culex quinquefasciatus. [•] Both the weedy plants have potential source of larvicidal compounds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
