This research investigates mosquito control strategies at Kaeng Krachan Dam, Thailand, emphasizing the negative environmental impacts of traditional chemical insecticides. The study explores the role of predatory aquatic insects in regulating mosquito larvae populations and assesses the impact of distance from the dam on mosquito and predator diversity. Findings reveal a higher concentration of mosquito larvae in closer proximity to the dam, with earthen containers (jars, cisterns, etc.) showing the highest larval abundance. The study advocates for environmentally friendly alternative mosquito control measures and proposes community-based interventions for disease prevention. Collaborative efforts with STEM professionals and advanced data analysis techniques enhance the study's interdisciplinary nature.
