    Focusing on Aedes aegypti, the primary vector of arboviruses such as dengue, Zika, Chikungunya, and urban yellow fever, this study addresses the epidemiological relevance of this insect from the Culicidae family. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to analyze the landscape of pharmacological resistance of this vector to synthetic insecticides (such as organophosphates and pyrethroids) and the consequent impacts on public health and environmental balance. The reviewed literature highlighted the urgent need for innovations aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 3, 12, and 15) of the UN 2030 Agenda, supporting the use of products based on plant secondary metabolites as biodegradable and low-cost alternatives. The phytochemical profile and adaptability of Lavandula dentata in Brazil were detailed, showcasing the larvicidal potential of its monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. It was found that the hydrolate, a byproduct of essential oil hydrodistillation, represents an economically sustainable resource with bioactive potential for vector control. To demonstrate this efficacy, larvicidal bioassays were conducted using third- and fourth-instar larvae of Aedes aegypti. As the main result of this master's research, the bioassays confirmed the larvicidal effect of Lavandula dentata hydrolate. The systematization and analysis of the data consolidated the writing of the master's thesis and culminated in the production of a scientific article to be submitted to a specialized journal, validating the use of plant-derived bioproducts in the management of the Aedes aegypti vector.
