Abstract :Tribolium confusum and Sitophilus oryzae species are seen in human habitats, mainly in kitchens. They damage the storage products by feeding on crops and disturb people like urban pests in kitchens and homes. Until now, there were no biocidal that could be used to control these species. We carried out to determine the effect of deltamethrin, which is used against some urban pests, on T. confusum and S. oryzae under laboratory conditions. The recommended dose of the biocidal against urban pests insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(60 ml/10 liter of water);, half dose insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(30 ml/10 liter of water);, and quarter dose insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(15 ml/10 liter of water); were used in the study. The results showed that the highest amount of the biocidal insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(60 ml/10 liter of water); resulted in 87.5% mortality in T. confusum and 97.5% in S. oryzae. The LD50 value for T. confusum is 32.8 and LD90 is 61.3 ml, and for S. oryzae, these values were found to be 18.8 and 38.1 ml, respectively.
