Chrysomya megacephala  is a vector for many pathogens and causes myiasis in vertebrates. In the present investigation, essential oil (EO) of  Lantana camara  was analysed by GC-MS to determine its chemical composition. Furthermore, this oil was tested against the eggs of  C. megacephala  to examine its ovicidal effect. Compositional analysis of EO revealed major components in the EO were α- pinene, caryophyllene, Geranyl acetate, and eucalyptol. Results of the contact toxicity are encouraging, as this EO proved fatal against blowfly eggs at 1 and 2 µl doses in a dose-dependent manner. Latent effects were also noticed in the progeny eclosed from treated eggs, leading to larval and pupal toxicity, reduced pupariation, pupal-adult intermediate formation, and suppressed emergence. We also report for the first time about the juvenoid nature of  L. camara  oil. Our result on the significant negative effects of  L. camara  EO on  C. megacephala  embryonic survival suggests that it can be considered in future designs of green pesticides against dipterans.
