The Bioefficacy of Essential Oils against the False Stable Fly, Muscina stabulans (Harris) (Diptera: Muscidae)

Abstract

The distribution of false stable fly, Muscina stabulans (Harris) (Diptera: Muscidae) is worldwide. Control of M. stabulans has been seldom done; therefore, this study investigated some biological aspects post treatment of four essential oils through ingestion and contact bioassays against the 3 rd larval instars of M. stabulans.
