“…On the other hand, the rate of percentage inhibition of the oil varied between 27.3%-72.7% and 46.4%-100%, respectively, for contact toxicity and fumigation assay against housefly pupae [101]. In addition, EOs from plants like C. bergamia (bergamot), Cymbopogon martini (palmarosa grass), Vetiveria zizanioides (vetiver grass), and Juniperus virginiana (red cedar) showed insecticidal property against the housefly (Musa domestica) [106].…”

Citrus is a genus belonging to the Rutaceae family and includes important crops like orange, lemons, pummelos, grapefruits, limes, etc. Citrus essential oils (CEOs) consist of some major biologically active compounds like α-/β-pinene, sabinene, β-myrcene, d-limonene, linalool, α-humulene, and α-terpineol belonging to the monoterpenes, monoterpene aldehyde/alcohol, and sesquiterpenes group, respectively. These compounds possess several health beneficial properties like antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, etc., in addition to antimicrobial properties, which have immense potential for food applications. Therefore, this review focused on the extraction, purification, and detection methods of CEOs along with their applications for food safety, packaging, and preservation. Further, the concerns of optimum dose and safe limits, their interaction effects with various food matrices and packaging materials, and possible allergic reactions associated with the use of CEOs in food applications were briefly discussed, which needs to be addressed in future research along with efficient, affordable, and “green” extraction methods to ensure CEOs as an ecofriendly, cost-effective, and natural alternative to synthetic chemical preservatives.

“…The main causes of infectious diarrhea are various types of pathogenic bacteria from human feces [22]. M. domestica breeds rapidly and generally settles in human and animal feces, as well as other organic materials such as meat, fruit, and fresh and decayed plant matter [23], [24], [25], [26].…”

“…Chemical insecticides such as pyrethroids, organophosphates, and carbamates are used globally. Most of these products no longer exhibit the expected efficacy due to high resistance in pests [16], [17], [18], [27], [28], and the misuse of some insecticides shortens the life of the compounds and pollutes the environment [16], [24], causing harm to non-target insects and humans [23]. Therefore, it is necessary to find plant-based insecticides as an alternative.…”

BACKGROUND: The housefly, Musca domestica L., spreads disease by contaminating food. However, chemical insecticides used to combat houseflies can pollute the environment and can harm non-target insects and humans; this demands safer alternatives and pest control options. AIM: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Piper betle L. leaf extract as a bio-pesticide against houseflies. METHODS: This study using a factorial design with six variations in concentration (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%), four variations in contact time (15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes), and 5-day-old M. domestica adults that were bred from residential areas. RESULTS: The results show that mortality was affected by concentration (p-value < 0.000), contact time (p-value < 0.000), and the interaction between concentration and contact time (p-value = 0.0007). Of the three, concentration had the greatest effect. CONCLUSION: As such, the use of Piper betle L. extract is a suitable, cheap, and environmentally safe method for controlling M. domestica.

“…Prior to World War II, mosquito repellents were primarily plant‐based, with oil of citronella being the most widely used product and the standard against which others products were compared (Moore et al ). The potential of EOs for management of house flies has also been studied extensively (reviewed by Malik et al , Geden , Chantawee and Soonwera 2017, Benelli et al , Klauck et al ). Many studies have targeted a single fly developmental stage, assessed a single response type (toxicity, repellency), used very high concentrations, or involved oils that are costly or difficult to obtain.…”

House flies are global pests and notoriously difficult to control. Essential oils of vetiver, cinnamon, and lavender and their blends were tested for toxic and repellent effects against larval and adult flies. All of the oils had moderate toxicity for eggs. Mortality of 2nd instar larvae was 57–78% in dipping assays, 38–100% in contact assays, and 94–100% in treated media. Lavender was less effective (38% mortality) than the others (91–100%) in contact bioassays. Oil blends were not more effective against larvae than individual oils. Vetiver and cinnamon oils were strongly repellent (84 and 78%, respectively) for larvae in treated media. None of the oils were repellent for adult house flies in olfactometer assays, but testing of additional products demonstrated significant repellency for neem oil, p‐menthane‐3,8‐diol (PMD), and vanillin. Contact/fumigant toxicity of vetiver, cinnamon, and lavender oils was 100%, significantly higher than mortality from sunflower oil (67%). Blends of oils were not more effective against adults than the individual oils, but blends diluted with sunflower oil were as effective as the individual oils. Essentials oils of vetiver and cinnamon may have potential for fly management in situations where conventional insecticides cannot be used.
