Abstract Insects that once served a vital role in medicine and veterinary care have evolved into dangerous pests. There are insects that are significant clinically. With their feeding habits, they spread infections to man and his domestic animals by contaminating various bodily parts, such as their mouths, wings, and appendages. Effective biodegradable pesticides with higher selectivity are required to avoid these issues related to the application of broad spectrum synthetic pesticides. Pesticides called botanicals are made from plant ingredients. In this study, Platostoma africanum was evaluated as a potential botanical for the management of pests with potential medical and veterinary importance. The researchers extracted the various plant parts into aqueous and organic solutions, evaluated the effectiveness of the extracts based on the extraction process, and examined how the extracts affected some insect pests of medicinal and veterinary value. Working with such botanicals is advised to be done in an enclosed space at room temperature because the active components of P. africanum are unstable when exposed to direct sunlight. Future research should take into account the fact that P. africanum can benefit from the combination of two or more botanicals.
