The present study evaluated the adulticidal efficacy of etofenprox against M. domestica under field conditions. The experiment was conducted through administration of etofenprox on the adult housefly populations using the dosage rates of 1 mL emulsifiable concentrate (EC) per 120 mL distilled water (dH 2 O) (0.83% v/v) and 1 mL EC per 70 mL dH 2 O (1.42% v/v) with the minimum application rate of 50 mL/m2.
