The experimental design adopted for this study was five (5) samples (A, B, C, D and E) of small basins were collected with different concentration of Musa Paradisiaca Peels extract (4ml, 6ml, 8ml, 10ml and control variables) in different locations within Otuogidi community. The study took five (5) days for the examination, each day with different results. Data was analyzed using ANOVA and presented in frequency distribution tables. The results obtained from the study within the periods (5) days are as follows: 4ml was able to trapped 10 mosquitoes, 6ml trapped 15 mosquitoes, 8ml trapped 18 mosquitoes and 10ml trapped 25 mosquitoes compared with the control that trapped none. According to results obtained, it was concluded that, Musa Paradisiaca has lethal properties capable of trapping mosquitoes at increased dosages. Therefore, we recommend that individuals and communities should adopt the simple method of Musa Paradisiaca to trap mosquitoes as a simple way of curbing the morbidity and mortality death rate cause by malaria parasites in Bayelsa state.
