House flies (Musca domestica) were reared in 4 I-bottles by placing of at least 10 imagoes into each bottle, the bottom of which was previously filled with 125 g wetted wheat bran and overlaid with 40 g bovine faeces
Of the sulphates tested for larvicidal efficiency as sprays
Of the plant extracts and decoctions tested the stronger of the two horse-tail (Equisetum arvense) decoctions proved effective when used as a spray at the rate of 50 ml for 5 days
Summary
Iron sulphate, magnesium sulphate, sodium tetraborate, aqueous extracts of great nettle (Urtica dioica), horse-tail (Equisetum arvense), mugwon (Artemisia vulgaris) and an alcoholic extract of garlic (Alium sativum) were tested for efficiency against house fly (Musca domestica) larvae under laboratory conditions.
