Nowadays, there are many problems with the use of chemical insecticides as resistance, environmental pollution, toxicity to man and animal... etc. All these required the investigation of a new line for controlling arthropod pests of medical and agricultural importance. The volatile oils of Chenopodium ambrosioides (American wormseed) and Thymus vulgaris (Tyme) proved to be effective against the third stage larvae of Lucilia sericata. The LC50 confidence limits were 70 ppm and 130 ppm for both volatile oils respectively. No doubt, the use of these plant volatile oils, which are widely distributed in the Egyptian flora, more cheap, more safe and without any pollution or hazard, is recommended.
如今，化学杀虫剂的使用存在许多问题，如抗药性、环境污染、对人和动物的毒性等。所有这些都需要研究一条控制具有医学和农业重要性的节肢动物害虫的新途径。藜（美洲土荆芥）和百里香（百里香）的挥发油被证明对丝光绿蝇的第三期幼虫有效。两种挥发油的LC50置信限分别为70 ppm和130 ppm。毫无疑问，建议使用这些在埃及植物群中广泛分布、更便宜、更安全且无任何污染或危害的植物挥发油。
