In this investigation we examined the essential oils of three aromatic plants,  Zanthoxylum armatum ,  Juniperus communis , and  Dysphania ambrosioides , which are used by the local population of the western Himalayan region for medicinal purposes. These plants were studied for their antifungal, larvicidal and biting deterrent activities. Additionally, chemical compositions of the oils were determined by GC-MS and their odor evaluated. The main compounds were 2-undecanone (47.7%) and 1,8-cineol (20.5%) from  Z .  armatum  and α-pinene (43.2%) and limonene (34.7%) from  J .  communis . p-Cymene (36.3%) and ascardiole (31.2%) were found as the main components of  D .  ambrosioides  essential oil. Antifungal activity was evaluated against three  Colletotrichum  species.  Dyspania ambrosioides  oil showed the best activity against these strawberry anthracnose causing fungi. It also demonstrated biting deterrent activity against  Aedes aegypti  similar to DEET as positive control, whereas  Z .  armatum  and  J .  communis  were less effective against  Colletotrichum  and mosquitoes.
