摘要:Dermestes maculatus is considered the responsible of the most serious pests which caused damage to Egyptian mummies. Hexane, petroleum ether, chloroform, acetone and ethanol extracts from Cinnamomum cassia were tested for their insecticidal activities against Dermestes maculatus larvae isolated from Egyptian mummies. Responses varied according to type of solvent, concentrations and exposure time. The results showed that the chloroform extract from Cinnamomum cassia was the most effective one at the LC 25,50,75,90,95&99 levels against Dermestes maculatus larvae. The data also showed that the Chloroform extract at any concentration realized complete mortality after a period that did not exceed 5, 8, 10, 13, 16 days with petroleum ether, hexane, acetone and ethanol respectively.
