| description | Pests and vector insects cause a great deal of economic and health disruption. Insect resistance
and bioaccumulation are major disadvantages of the chemical control methods used against
this pest. We investigated the larvicide and inhibition effect of Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck and
Mentha pulegium Linnaeus essential oils against larvae and pupae of the housefly, Musca
domestica Linnaeus, 1758. Their effects on a major parasitoid of houseflies; Muscidifurax
raptor Girault & Sanders, 1910 were also investigated. Both essential oils were found to have
significant insecticidal activity against larvae and pupae of houseflies. The LC50 of C. sinensis
and M. pulegium essential oils were for larvae 3.93 and 0.71 ml/cm2, and for pupa 0.41 and
0.23 ml/cm2, respectively. Surprisingly, the parasitoids were less affected by plant-applied
essential oils as compared to houseflies. After 24 and 48 hours of exposure, the LC50 for C.
sinensis and M. pulegium essential oils was found to be 71.2 and 52.6 ml/cm2 and 45.2 and
37.6 ml/cm2, respectively. Overall, this experiment indicated that low concentrations of
essential oils were found to have a significant effect on houseflies, but not parasitoids. Thus, it
can be used in combination in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to provide
effective results. |
