Abstract

This study was carried out from March, 2013 to the end of December,2014.Including several experim- ents only on adult house fly, in the growth chamber ofthe Department of Plant Protection,and Central Laboratory in Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry, University of Duhok,Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The experimental flies were collected from field of the(Delbe) village 5km. away from the West Duhok city using the hand net, during summer of 2013.The results showed the electrical shock gave 117.60 b/ min.During studying the biological phenomena after the treatment of the flies by electric shock, it was shown that the subsequent generation that was raised from insect had reduced mating process. Also it was observed that the emerged adult appeared to be handicap such sluggish with slow movement. Two days excess increased the emerged flies but the larval intervals extended to a long time and after few days the insects were unable to emerge and died, while half of their body was out of puparium.
