“…The chemical compositions of the EOs tested in this study are consistent with the results obtained in the EAG assay. Generally, since the EAG response is linked to the insect olfaction, it is reasonable that this was primarily elicited by the more volatile fraction of the extracts as reported for other dipteran species [32,33]. In our experiments, the A. sativum EO elicited an overall stronger EAG response than the other two EOs tested.…”

Blowflies are known vectors of many foodborne pathogens and unintentional human ingestion of maggots by meat consumption may lead to intestinal myiasis. In fact, the control of insect pests is an important aspect of industrial and home-made food processing and blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae), which are among the most important pests involved in the damage of meat products. Most spices, largely used in food preparations and industry, contain essential oils that are toxic and repellent against insects and exert antimicrobial activity. In this study, we assessed the electro-antennographic responses, the oviposition deterrence, the toxicity, and the repellence of the essential oils (EOs) of Allium sativum L., Salvia officinalis L., and Rosmarinus officinalis L. against the blowfly Calliphora vomitoria L. We tested the EOs antibacterial and antifungal properties and the efficacy of an A. sativum EO-charged mist sprayed in the tunnel entryway of a meat processing room to form an olfactive barrier against the entrance of flies. The results showed that the EOs are perceived by female blowfly’ antennae and exert an evident repellent activity against them completely deterring the oviposition for up to 24 h starting from the concentration of 2.5 μL cm−2 EO. The EOs also exhibited toxic activity by both topical application (LD50 from 0.44 to 1.97 μL insect−1) and fumigation (LC50 from 1.76 to 31.52 μL L−1) against adults of C. vomitoria and were able to exert a clear antimicrobial activity toward pathogens. Lastly, the EO-charged mist was able to reduce by about 40% the presence of Calliphoridae in the meat processing room of a dry-ham factory.

“…Moreover, Tampe et al [49] also reported repellency from Achillea millefolium L. EO on another curculionid, Aegorhinus nodipennis (Hope) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and Rebolledo et al [28] described the insecticidal effect of D. winteri EO on A. superciliosus, with 100% mortality at a concentration of 40% v/v. Other studies have reported that Ruta graveolens L. (Rutaceae) extracts can produce different effects on C. capitata, being able to attract and stimulate oviposition and at the same time act as an insecticide [84]. Generally, plant compounds that act as insect repellents also act as semiochemicals that alter the behavior of an arthropod.…”

Adverse effects caused by synthetic pesticides have increased interest in plant-derived insecticidal compounds, in particular essential oils, as a more compatible and ecofriendly alternative for pest control of economic importance. For this reason, the essential oil isolated from leaves and shoots of Drimys winteri (J.R. Forster & G. Forster)—also named canelo (CEO)—was investigated for its chemical profile and insecticidal action against Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say)—one of the most important post-harvest pests of dry beans in the world—and Aegorhinus superciliosus (Guérin)—a significant pest of fruit trees in Chile. The analysis by gas chromatography, paired with mass spectrometry (GC/MS) determined 56 compounds, corresponding to 92.28% of the detected compounds. Elemol (13.54%), γ-eudesmol (11.42%), β-eudesmol (8.49%), α-eudesmol (6.39%), α-pinene (7.92%) and β-pinene (5.17%) were the most abundant. Regarding the bioactivity of the CEO, the results demonstrated toxicological effects against A. obtectus. A concentration of 158.3 µL L−1 had a mortality rate of 94% after 24 h exposure. The LC50 and LC90 values at 24 h were 60.1 and 163.0 µL L−1. Moreover, behavioral bioassays showed a repellent effect against A. superciliosus with a dose of one microliter of CEO. Both sexes of the raspberry weevil stayed for very short times in the treated area with the oil (<0.8 min), showing a homogeneous repellency in the species. The overall data suggest that canelo leaves and shoots essential oil has an insecticide effect and is worth exploring to better understand the synergistic relationship between the compounds present in the essential oil.

“…However, Majdoub, Dhen, and Salaheddine Souguir (2014) reported that the essential oil of rue presented insecticidal activity on the Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) beetle. In toxicity bioassays, Ghabbari et al (2018) found that exposure of Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) to rue extract, resulted in 100% adult mortality. In addition, Teixeira (2009) showed that rue extract applied to apple fruits significantly reduced the amount of A. fraterculus pupae.…”

“…Botanical substances have advantages compared to synthetic insecticides, e.g., a lower chance of insect resistance development and a shorter half-life in the environment (Azevedo, dos Santos, Nere, da Silva Moura, & Gurgel, 2013;Marangoni, de Moura, & Garcia, 2013). Many botanical substances can have insecticidal activity which may adversely affect the biology of fruit flies (Nunes, Boff, dos Santos, Franco, & da Rosa, 2015;Daniel, 2014) by causing toxicity (Ghabbari et al, 2018;Daniel, 2014) which results in adult mortality (Vásquez-Morales et al, 2015). In addition, studies carried out by Greany et al (1983) showed that citrus peel oils were toxic to A. fraterculus neonate larvae.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of botanical oils on adult mortality and oviposition repellency of Anastrepha fraterculus in peach, apple and red cattley guava fruits. The fruits were treated by the dip method for 15 seconds with botanical oils of Ruta graveolens (0.05%), Cymbopogon citratus (1%), Cymbopogon winterianus (10%), Carapa guianensis (25%) and distilled water was used as a control. The experiments were carried out in a completely randomized design with twenty replicates. After being treated, the fruits were dried at room temperature, placed in separate plastic containers (750 mL) and transferred to a room at 25±2 °C. Each fruit was exposed to two fruit fly couples for 48 hours. After this period, the amount of dead insects was recorded. On apple fruits kept in containers with sterilized vermiculite, the effect of the treatments on A. fraterculus biology was evaluated for 36 days, and data were collected on the amount of pupae in the second generation. C. winterianus oil presented mortality rates of 100 and 80% of adults in peach and apple fruits, respectively. C. citratus oil caused a significantly different mortality rate compared to the control in peach fruits, whereas C. guianensis oil caused A. fraterculus mortality in red cattley guava and apple fruits. The mortality of A. fraterculus in fruits treated with R. graveolens oil did not differ from the control treatment. The botanical oils of C. winterianus and C. guianensis protected apple fruits by preventing A. fraterculus proliferation, and there was a significant reduction of the amount of pupae in the second generation. Botanic oils presented potential for suppression of fruit flies; however, further studies are necessary to test and make them feasible under field conditions.
