Abstract
BACKGROUND: The housefly, Musca domestica L., spreads disease by contaminating food. However, chemical
insecticides used to combat houseflies can pollute the environment and can harm non-target insects and humans;
this demands safer alternatives and pest control options.
AIM: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Piper betle L. leaf extract as a bio-pesticide against houseflies.
METHODS: This study using a factorial design with six variations in concentration (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and
25%), four variations in contact time (15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes), and 5-day-old M. domestica adults that were
bred from residential areas.
RESULTS: The results show that mortality was affected by concentration (p-value < 0.000), contact time (p-value <
0.000), and the interaction between concentration and contact time (p-value = 0.0007). Of the three, concentration
had the greatest effect.
CONCLUSION: As such, the use of Piper betle L. extract is a suitable, cheap, and environmentally safe method for
controlling M. domestica.
