This research was conducted to determine the toxic effect of tuberose extract (Polianthes tuberosa) on the mortality of house fly (Musca domestica). This research is an experimental study (experimental) and Completely Randomized Design Test (CRD) by conducting 6 treatment groups including negative control (aquades) and tuberose flower extract concentrations of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%. The data obtained for 72 hours were analyzed by using the One Way ANOVA statistical test, a significance value of P = 0.000 (p<0.005) was obtained and continued with the probit test, it can be said that tuberose bug extract has a toxic effect on house flies with LC50 at a concentration of 45.808%.
