Insecticidal Properties of Several Monoterpenoids to the House Fly (Diptera: Muscidae), Red Flour Beetle (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), and Southern Corn Rootworm (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

Abstract: House flies, Musca domestica (L.), and their eggs were treated with 22 monoterpenoids to determine the topical, fumigant, and ovicidal activity of each compound. Fumigant activity of 14 monoterpenoids were examined further using red flour beetles, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst). Third-instar southern corn rootworm, Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi Barber, were treated with carvacrol, citral, citronellal, menthol, pulegone, verbenol, and verbenone to determine their activity on larvae. Structure-activity relati… Show more

“…Some compounds assayed in this study were more toxic to honey bees than to their A. woodi parasites, although others were more toxic to A. woodi. Results obtained in this study support Rice and Coats' (1994) observations that monoterpenoid potencies vary considerably, and that minor structural differences can elicit major differences in toxicity.…”

“…All monoterpenoid LC so values fell in a narrow range (1.7-17.1 Itg/ml). Rice and Coats (1994) found LCsos in the same range for menthol, pulegone, and citral when applied to Musca domestica L. In their study, menthol, pulegone, and citral had LCsos of 3.6, 9.2, and 13 Itg/ml, respectively. Interestingly, although thymol was the most toxic compound to honey bees examined in this study (LC so of 1.…”

“…Monoterpenoid compounds have been tested as control agents for several insect pests in stored grains, working through contact, ingestion, as fumigant or repellant, showing ovicidal effects or acting on the life cycles of insects (Karr & Coats 1988;Rice & Coats 2003;Lee et al 2003). In general, toxicity due to essential oils is related to the most abundant chemical component in the oils Tapondjou et al 2002;Singh et al 2003;Aslan et al 2004).…”

“…These insecticides-due to their little side effect on natural enemies, little toxicity on vertebrates and fast degradation in environment -are of special importance [4,5]. Hence, it seems that plant origin insecticides are safe alternatives to traditional insect control measures [6,7]. Among plant products used for pest control, essential oils are used as fumigant [8,9], contact [10][11][12], deterrents [13][14][15] and antifeedants [16].…”
