| Abstract |
| The house fly, Musca domestica L., is a nuisance insect that transmits many pathogens. In this study, the effect of three different nutritional diets (diet A made up wheat bran+water; diet B Wheat bran+Prowers yeast +Powdered milk+ water and diet C Wheat bran+ pheromone+ water) was investigated on some biological and morphological aspects. Also, the effect of four insecticides formulations (Beta- cyfluthrin,Imidacloprid,primiphos-methyl and fipronil) were studied against the laboratory strain of the adult house fly using a CDC bottle bioassay technique. Found that the pupa completed its development after 120 hrs. in diet B, while after 96 in diet A and diet C, with no significant differences were found in larvae and adulthood (72 and 192 hrs. in all diets, respectively) .The higher length of third instar larvae in diet A is (7.7 mm), while the least length in diet B is (6.9 mm).On the other hand the result showed that the LC50 of fipronil is 0.0064 mg/kg, followed by Imidacloprid 0.0033 mg/kg, then Beta cyfluthrin and primiphos-methyl 0.0002 and 0.00017mg/kg, respectively . showed that the primiphos – methyl was more effective than the other insecticide formulations. |
