Oviposition responses of the tobacco beetle, Lasioderma serricorne (F.) were tested against the whole body washes of conspecific females. Five solvents were used for the body washings: distilled water, insect saline, methanol, acetone and hexane. All the body washes noticeably reduced egg laying in the treated samples more than those of their controls. Hexane wash was the most effective (about 82% deterrence recorded). Bio-assay established a clear relationship between the concentration (female equivalents) of the hexane extract and the deterrence of oviposition. © 1995.
