Insecticidal, Repellent and Antifeedant Activity of Essential Oils from <i>Blepharocalyx cruckshanksii</i> (Hook. & Arn.) Nied. Leaves and <i>Pilgerodendron uviferum</i> (D. Don) Florin Heartwood against Horn Flies, <i>Haematobia irritans</i> (Diptera: Muscidae)

<i>Haematobia irritans</i> is a cosmopolitan obligate blood-feeding ectoparasite of cattle and is the major global pest of livestock production. Currently, <i>H. irritans</i> management is largely dependent on broad-spectrum pesticides, which has led to the development of ins...
