Application of chemical insecticides for control of M. domestica resulted in well-known problems to human, environment and non-target organisms, thus there is an urgent need to develop a new materials to avoid the hazards of chemical insecticides. The present study investigated the effect of different extracts from leaves of Trigonella stellata and Eucalyptus citriodora on M. domestica third instars larvae, resulted pupae and reproductive potential of females resulted from treated larvae. Materials and Methods: Musca domestica reared under controlled conditions of temperature, relative humidity and photoperiod. Tested plants collected and leaves were extracted with ethanol 70%, chloroform and hexane. Different concentrations of each extract were mixed with larval artificial diet instead of water to detect the activity of tested extracts against M. domestica. Results: Larvicidal bioassay showed that hexane extracts from tested plants recorded the highest activity against M. domestica as compared with other 2 extracts. The LC50 values of T. stellata and E. citriodora (leaves) hexane extracts recorded 81.07 and 187.79 ppm, respectively. All tested extracts significantly (p<0.05) reduced the fecundity and increased the sterility index of females resulted from treated larvae. Sterility index recorded 64.21 and 59.28% by 130 and 250 ppm of T. stellata and E. citriodora (leaves) hexane extracts, respectively. Conclusion: The findings of the present study suggested that T. stellata and E. citriodora tested extracts considered to be promising alternative agents for the control of M. domestica.]]>Bisseleua, H.B.D., S.W.K.
