Abstract Residual film method was followed to analyze the toxicity of deltamethrin, essential oils (EOs) of Cymbopogon citratus and Cinnamonum camphora in separate and form of various combinations against LHR1 and LHR2 populations of fifth instar larvae of Trogoderma granarium. The cytotoxic potential of LC50s of both EOs, deltamethrin and their various combinations was as well investigated. The LHR2 population showed 23.73 fold deltamethrin resistance with respect to LHR1 population. Both EOs had high insecticidal activity than deltamethrin but C. citratus EO was less toxic than C. camphora EO against both populations. Based on strength of synergism and dose reduction index, the order of insecticidal activity of combinations in LHR1 population was: C. citratus EO: deltamethrin
