Waste swamps, stagnant water, and poor hygiene practices result in the proliferation of mosquitoes that may cause transmissible and infectious diseases such as
malaria
, typhoid, cholera, and Zika virus sickness. It has been shown that composites of the traditional natural fibers cotton, viscose, and linen and a Ti-bearing metal-organic framework, NH

MIL
-125, are very effective against mosquitoes in the absence of any conventional insecticides. In our study, prior to coating with NH

-
MIL
-125 crystals, the fabrics were modified with 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane. The composite materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis. The latter, in particular, has shown the uniform coating of the fabrics with NH

-125 crystals. The modified fabrics have excellent antimosquito properties, attracting and killing them.
