Abstract

To plan and improve the effectiveness of pest control measures in animal husbandry and poultry farming, information is needed on the sensitivity of flies living in agricultural premises to modern insecticides. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of sensitivity to fipronil, acetamiprid, ivermectin and chlorphenapir Musca domestica L. in natural populations living on agricultural sites. The study was carried out in one poultry and two livestock farms. The sensitivity of the first-generation M. domestica imago to insecticides was evaluated by dosed contact method, after which the semi-lethal doses and resistance index to a sensitive laboratory culture were calculated. According to the results, a population of flies from a livestock farm, which used neonicotinoid-based baits for ten years, was highly resistant to acetamipride (resistance index 57) and tolerant to ivermectin (resistance index 10). The population of flies from the poultry farm, which used neonicotinoids in the form of bait against flies for four years, was tolerant to acetamiprid (resistance index 5). The population of flies from a livestock farm in which insecticides have not been used for more than five years was sensitive to all tested insecticides. The results and literature data confirm that the rate of formation of insecticide resistance in natural populations of M. domestica at agricultural sites depends on the method and duration of use of the drugs.
