The effects of piperonyl butoxide on the toxicity to adult mosquitos (Anopheles stephensi List, and Aedes aegypti (L.)) and house-flies (Musca domestica L.) of pyrethrins, two synthetic pyrethroids, three organophosphorus compounds and their oxygen analogues, and three carbamates (Sevin, and both 3-isopropylphenyl and 3,5-di-isopropylphenyl N-methylcarbamate) were determined quantitatively. Solutions, in di-isobutyl ketone, containing insecticide alone and insecticide/ piperonyl butoxide mixtures in the proportion of 1:10 were applied topically to individual insects.A high degree of synergism was obtained only with natural pyrethrins and carbamates and house-flies, and the effect on the toxicity of these insecticides to adult mosquitos was much less pronounced. Insecticidal potency of the synthetic pyrethroids allethrin and dimethrin was influenced less than that of natural pyrethrins.Piperonyl butoxide antagonised the action of malathion in M. domestica, and to a slight extent in A. stephensi, but increased the toxicity of malathion and malaoxon to Ae. aegypti. It had little effect on the potency of diazinon and parathion and their oxygen analogues (diazinoxon and paraoxon) with the exception that it increased the toxicity of diazinon and diazinoxon to Ae. aegypti.The results are discussed in relation to the hypothesis that piperonyl butoxide inhibits detoxification in insects. From a practical point of view, they suggest that no great advantages would be derived from the addition of piperonyl butoxide to formulations of organophosphorus compounds and carbamates used for residual contact action against adult mosquitos.

One of the diseases that can be transmitted by flies is diarrhea. Green betel leaf contains essential oils, chavicol, arecoline, phenol, and tannins which function as plant-based insecticides. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of green betel leaf extract (Piper betel) as a plant-based insecticide on the number of mortality of house flies (Musca domestica). The research was an experimental study used After Only Design used the One Way Anova test with a 95% confidence level. The samples used were 360 ​​house flies. Each treatment of 30 house flies with 4 repetitions and used three concentrations of green betel leaf extract (25%, 50%, 75%). The study was conducted at the Chemistry and Microbiology Laboratory of Health Polytechnic Tanjungpinang, while the location of the fly collection was at the Tokojo Garbage Collection Station in Bintan Regency. The number of mortality of house flies at a concentration of 25% was 81 heads (67.5%), 50% concentrations were 93 heads (77.5%), and at a concentration of 75% were 103 heads (85.83%). There was an effect of green betel leaf extract on the mortality of house flies (p-value 0.0001 <0.05) with the most effective concentration of 75%. Further research is needed to obtain a finished product utilizing green betel leaf extract as a vegetable insecticide, especially in controlling the fly vector. Need further research on the use of green betel leaf extract as a vegetable insecticide controlling the fly vector by taking into account the amount of spraying and the age of the fly.   Keywords: Green betel leaf extract , organic insecticide, houseflies
