House flies (Musca domestica L.) can transmit several human diseases including dysentery, diarrhea, and food poisoning. There is a need for study to reduce the population of house flies. Therefore, the present research aimed to study the efficacy of Entomopathogenic Nematode (Steinernema carpocapsae) in a wettable powder formulation (WP) for controlling M. domestica Stages 1-2 of the laboratory-grown M. domestica larvae were employed for evaluation. Each batch will test three replicates for one concentration and one spray volume. Then the mortality of M. domestica. was recorded and analyzed at 24, 48 and 72 hours after spraying. The results showed that the mortality of Musca domestica L. was greater than 90% at 72 hours after spraying with nematode standard 75 g + 150% per 20 liters of water and the mortality was greater than 95% at 24 and 48 hours after spraying with nematode standard 75 g + 200% per 20 liters of water. This study demonstrated that the wettable powder formulation of S. carpocapsae was effective at controlling M. domestica and it can be further applied in the areas.
