چکیده
Presently ,chemical control method popularly used against house fly ,nevertheless, major disadvantages, such as house fly resistance, toxic side effect to human and environment have increased. Botanical insecticides have been increasing evaluated in controlling house fly. In order to search for effective and environmental friendly control agent, Thai essential oils of Syzygium aromaticum (Clove) and Cymbopogon citratus (lemongrass) were evaluated for their larvicidal, pupicidal, adulticidal, ovposition deterrent and ovicidal activities against house fly and compared them with chemical insecticide (cypermethrin ; Kumakai10). The highest insecticidal activity was shown by clove oil with LC50 values of 1.20-10.55% and clove oil also exhibited highest oviposition deterrent and ovicidal activities with 100% effective repellency and 0% of hatching rate. These results exhibited higher toxic than cypermethrin and lemongrass oil. Therefore, clove oil should be further used botanical insecticide housefly control.
