%X Recent advances in nanotechnology have led to its widespread application in several industries, including food, military, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, medicine, and pest control. Nano-insecticides have attracted considerable attention due to their effectiveness in combating plant pests and disease vectors, such as malaria, and providing more efficient solutions than traditional pesticides. Various methods have been developed for the production of nano-insecticides, but with the increasing demand for this category of insecticides, it is crucial to identify optimal approaches for the synthesis of insecticidal nanoparticles. Another important factor driving the need for innovation in nano-pesticides is the growing problem of pest resistance, which has reduced the availability of effective pesticides, especially for health-related purposes. Expanding research on nano-insecticides will further promote development in this emerging field. This review explores nano-pesticides and describes their production methods, types, environmental impacts, and potential toxicity to mammals.
