House fly control by Damsissa and chemical fertilizers

ABSTRACT

This work aimed to study the effect of Damsissa plant and some chemical fertilizers on house fly breeding. The results showed that the plant has a good lethal effect on larval stages of house fly and it was not a repellent for adult stage. Also chemical fertilizers such as urea, potassium phosphate and triple phosphate were lethal to the larval stage, besides they were repellent to the adults. We concluded from these results that the chemical fertilizers cannot be used in fly control for its repellent action and consequently house fly can lay eggs on other places so do not affect its breeding activity. While the Damsissa was not repellent for flies and moreover the egg laid on it do not complete its life cycle
