Abstract
Blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) and the house fly (Diptera: Muscidae) are filth flies of medical importance, and control of their population is needed. As insecticide applications have resulted in fly resistance, and the exploration of plant essential oils (EOs) has increased against filth flies, this study assessed the combination of EOs with pyrethoids to enhance toxic efficacy. The EOs of five effective plants were screened initially against the house fly ( L.). Their chemical constituent was performed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The main components of (Zingiberaceae) rhizome, (Zingiberaceae) rhizome, (Rutaceae) fruit peel, (Lamiaceae) seed, and (Rutaceae) fruit were δ-3-caren (35.25%), β-turmerone (51.68%), β-pinene (26.56%), p-cumic aldehyde (58.21%), and dipentene (60.22%), respectively. The screening test revealed that the three most effective plant EOs were from , and , which were selected for the combination with two pyrethroid insecticides (permethrin and deltamethrin), in order to enhance their synergistic efficacy against the blow flies, Fabricius, Macquart, and Wiedemann, and the house fly. Synergistic action was presented in almost all of the flies tested with permenthrin/deltamethrin/EOs mixtures. It was interesting that the combination of deltamethrin with three EOs showed a synergistic effect on all of the tested flies. However, an antagonistic effect was observed in and treated with permethrin- and treated with permethrin-. The LD of insecticides decreased when combined with plant EOs. This alternative strategy will be helpful in developing a formula for effective fly control management.
