Abstract
This research is aimed at evaluating the potential abilities of the natural acaricide of F. suspense oil against Tyrophagus putrescentiae and Dermatophagoides spp. Based on the LD50 values, in contact bioassay, F. suspense oil (8.19, 3.28, and 4.35 µg/cm 2 ) showed acaricidal effects against T. putrescentiae, D. farinae, and D. pteronyssinus, respectively. Fumigant toxicities of F. suspense oil showed similar patterns as those observed with contact toxicities. GC/MS analysis showed the major components of F. suspense oil to be β-pinene (45.88%), myrtenol (13.86%), (+)-α-pinene (13.09%), (−)-trans-pinocarveol (7.34%), sabinene (6.64%) and pinocarvone (4.13%). These findings indicate that F. suspense oil has potential as a natural acaricide.
