Abstract
Thermocole sheets impregnated with fungal spores of Metarhizium anisopliae and
Baeuveria bassiana were evaluated at three concentrations (5x10^7, 7.5x10^7 and 15x10^7 spores per ml) against adult house flies under laboratory conditions. In these trials, all the three concentrations of M.anisopliae spore caused >90 per cent mortality of adult house flies in 6 to 10 days. In case of B.bassiana, two concentrations of 7.5x10^7 and 15x10^7 spores per ml produced >90 per cent mortality of flies while the lowest concentration (5x10^7) caused 82.9±7.2 per cent mortality of adult flies.
