Abstract (2. Language): 
The present study examines the efficacy of essential oils of Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Artemisia herba alba. As fumigant toxicity against larvae of third instar and adults of Trogoderma granarium at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 μl/160cm³ for different exposure times 12, 24, 48h. The mortality rate for third larvae during the exposure period was 12h, 76.1% and 68.3%, in the second period of 24h, the mortality rate was 14.99% and 16.6%, while third exposure time was 0.55% and 1.1% for essential oils of Eucalyptus and Artemisia respectively. The percentage of killing increase as the concentration increased and decreased as the duration of exposure increased. Duration of the first exposure increased and the mortality rates were high compared with second and third periods with highest concentration killing rate of 50, 60 μl/160cm³ for essential oils of Eucalyptus. Adult of the insect during the exposure period 12h mortality reached 91.1% and 86.1%, while the second period of exposure 24h, the mortality rate was 6.6%, and third exposure time of 48h was the lowest reaching 2.2% and 7.2% for Eucalyptus and Artemisia respectively. Duration of the first exposure increased and the mortality rates were high compared with second and third periods with highest concentration mortality rate of 40, 50, 60 μl/160cm³ for essential oils of Eucalyptus and Artemisia. Generally, adult mortality rates were higher than larvae for the same duration of exposure. This indicates the possibility of using essential oil for both E. camaldulensis and A. herba alba in the applied field for the management of the pest population in the stores.
