Experiments on larvicide and ovicide activity of 13 insecticides in semi‐natural conditions showed a medium to low efficacy of bio‐insecticides on all instars of T uta absoluta ( M eyrick) except for B acillus thuringiensis B erliner var. kurstaki which was distinguished by an average mortality of 72.5%. S pinosad and S pinetoram based insecticides showed high efficiency in controlling all instars of larvae with respectively an average mortality of 66.5% and 85.6%. However, this study revealed a unique ovicide effect of azadirachtin‐neem oil based insecticide with 43.8% egg mortality.
