The objective of this article is to evaluate the biocidal effect of the extract of the leaves of Capsicum frutescens in the fight against arthropod parasites (case of Musca domestica and Ixodida ticks) as well as to appreciate the insecticidal and Ixodicidal effect of this extract. At the end of this study conducted in Butembo, North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo on 480 arthropods including 240 flies and 240 ticks, it was found that the extract of capsicum frutescens leaves has an insecticidal action on flies (96.3%) and acaricide on ticks (84.17%) and overall, 433 arthropods (90.2%) have been killed. The analysis of these results showed that the biocidal effect is more insecticidal and its action is fast (10.06 seconds) while it is less acaricidal and its action is not fast (33 hours). The degree of dilution showed a variation in the biocidal efficacy of the leaf extract of this plant.

Cet article a pour objectif d’évaluer l’effet biocide de l’extrait des feuilles de Capsicum frutescens dans la lutte contre les arthropodes parasites (cas de Musca domestica et des tiques Ixodida) ainsi que d’apprécier l’effet insecticide et Ixodicide de cet extrait. A l’issue de cette étude menée à Butembo, Nord-Kivu, République Démocratique du Congo sur 480 arthropodes dont 240 mouches et 240 tiques, il s’est avéré que l’extrait des feuilles de Capsicum frutescens a une action insecticide sur les mouches (96,3%) et acaricide sur les tiques (84,17%) et d’une manière globale, 433 arthropodes soit 90,2%) ont été tué. L’analyse de ces résultats a montré que l’effet biocide est plus insecticide et son action est rapide (10,06 seconde) alors qu’il est moins acaricide et son action n’est pas rapide (33 heures). Le degré de dilution a montré une variation de l’efficacité biocide de l’extrait des feuilles de cette plante.
