Insect growth regulators (IGRs) are currently the fastest-growing class of insecticides, and in Turkey these products represent a new approach to pest control. In recent years, several IGRs were also registered for the control of the house fly, Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae), in Turkey. A field survey was conducted in the summers of 2006 and 2007 to evaluate resistance to some agriculturally and medically used IGRs on house flies from livestock farms and garbage dumps in the greenhouse production areas (Merkez, Kumluca, Manavgat, and Serik) of Antalya province (Southwestern Turkey). The results of larval feeding assay with technical diflubenzuron, methoprene, novaluron, pyripoxyfen, and triflumuron indicate that low levels (RF<10-fold) of resistance to the IGRs exist in the house fly populations from Antalya province. Exceptions, however, were two populations, Guzoren and Toptas, from the Kumluca area which showed moderate resistance to diflubenzuron with 11.8-fold in 2006 and 13.2-fold in 2007, respectively. We found substantial variation in susceptibility of field-collected house fly populations from year to year and from product to product. We generally observed an increase in resistance at many localities sampled from 2006 to 2007. The implications of these results to the future use of IGRs for house fly control are discussed. It will be critically important to continue monitoring efforts so that appropriate steps can be taken if resistance levels start to increase.
昆虫生长调节剂（IGRs）是目前增长最快的一类杀虫剂，在土耳其，这些产品代表了一种新的害虫防治方法。近年来，几种昆虫生长调节剂也在土耳其登记用于防治家蝇，即家蝇（双翅目：蝇科）。2006年和2007年夏季进行了一项实地调查，以评估土耳其西南部安塔利亚省温室生产区（梅尔凯兹、库姆卢卡、马纳夫加特和塞里克）的畜牧场和垃圾场的家蝇对一些农业和医学上使用的昆虫生长调节剂的抗性。用除虫脲原药、烯虫酯、虱螨脲、吡丙醚和氟铃脲进行幼虫喂食试验的结果表明，安塔利亚省家蝇种群对这些昆虫生长调节剂存在低水平（抗性倍数<10倍）的抗性。然而，例外情况是来自库姆卢卡地区的古佐伦和托普塔斯两个种群，它们对除虫脲表现出中等抗性，2006年和2007年的抗性倍数分别为11.8倍和13.2倍。我们发现，每年以及不同产品之间，野外采集的家蝇种群的易感性存在很大差异。我们普遍观察到，从2006年到2007年，在许多采样地点抗性有所增加。讨论了这些结果对未来使用昆虫生长调节剂防治家蝇的影响。持续监测至关重要，以便在抗性水平开始上升时能够采取适当措施。
