Abstract
The house fly, Musca domestica (L.), is the major insect pest in poultry facilities and intensive animal units. Large populations of flies create problems for animal and public health. The commercially available two fungal formulations (Verticilium laccani and Pacilomyces lilacinus) were prepared with four different concentrations viz.10gm/L, 20gm/L, 40gm/L and 60gm/L with sterile distilled water. The third instar M. domestica larvae was evaluated and the observations were made at 24 h intervals up to pupation.The entomopathogenic fungal formulations, V. laccani and P. lilacinus seem to be effective in controlling the pest Musca domestica. The fungal formulation of V. laccani showed that the highest mortality 63.75% was observed in the 60g/l and Pacilomyces lilacinus seem to be effective in controlling the pest Musca domestica. The higher concentration 60g/l shows that the 15% to 72.5%.
