ABSTRACT
The insecticidal activity of Eucalyptus globulus oil [Camphor oil] against the larval maturation and adult emergency of the house-fly, Musca domestica 3rd stage was evaluated under controlled laboratory conditions. Concentrations of 100%, 70%, 50% 25%, 5%, 2%, 1%, 0.9% and 0.7% showed 100% larval mortality rate. At concentrations of 0.5%, 0.3%, 0.2% and 0.1% the larval mortality rate was 90%. On the other hand, the developed pupae did not emerge to adults. Eucalyptus glohulus oil is safe, cheap and widely used in Medicine. So, it is recommended to be use in controlling larvae of M. domestica
