The effect of some insecticides on survival of the spider parasteatoda tepidariorum koch has been investigated under constant laboratory conditions 25 ± 1°C and 70 ± 5% RH.

mortality after 48h of treatment with LC50 of Abtar® 90% SP, Andros® 7.5% WG and Grand® 5% EC has been examined.

the effectiveness of selected insecticides on the biological aspects such as longevity periods, prey consumption of adults and fecundity of females has been investigated.

as well Andros® showed to be the most effective due to its high acute toxicity, on biological aspects for both female and male and prey consumption.

in addition, the study revealed that Andros® was also to be the most drastically effective on fecundity of females.
