<p>To determine selective effectiveness for specific pesticides on biological control species, we evaluated the contact toxicity of different treatments including 10 ml l<sup>-1</sup> dishwashing liquid, Dayabon 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 ml l<sup>-1</sup>, Palizin 1.5, 2.5 and 2.5 ml l<sup>-1</sup>, Palizin 1.5, 2 and 2.5+Citrol oil 5 ml l-1, Tondoxir 2 and 3+Bartar soap 1 ml l<sup>-1</sup>, Malathion 2 ml l<sup>-1</sup> and control (water) on the adult aphids of the most important citrus gardens and their predator, <em>Coccinella septempunctata </em>L. in the laboratory conditions. The results revealed that the Palizin treatment 2.5+Citrol oil 5 ml l<sup>-1</sup>, caused the highest rate of the mortality of the citrus green aphid, <em>Aphis spiraecola </em><a title="Edith Marion Patch" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Marion_Patch">Patch</a>, 1914 in 36 hours. Concentrations of 7 to 10 ml l<sup>-1</sup>, Dayabon and Palizin 2.5+Citrol oil 5 ml l<sup>-1</sup>, as well as 3 ml<sup>-1</sup> Tondexir + Bartar soap 1 ml<sup>-1</sup> had the highest mortality of the citrus brown aphid, <em>Aphis citricidus </em>(Kirkaldy, 1907), 36 hours after treatment (100 %). In addition, the treatments of Palizin 2 ml<sup>-1</sup>+ Citrol oil of 5 ml<sup>-1</sup>, as well as 2 ml l<sup>-1</sup> Tondexir+Bartar soap 1 ml l<sup>-1</sup> and concentrations of 5 ml l<sup>-1</sup> and 6 ml<sup>-1</sup> of Dayabon produced the same amount of the mortality of the citrus black aphid, <em>Toxoptera aurantii </em>(Boyer de Fonscolombe, 1841). Tondexir 3 ml l<sup>-1</sup>+Bartar soap 1 ml l<sup>-1</sup> in 24 hours after treatment caused the highest rate of the mortality of the cotton aphids, <em>Aphis gossypii </em>Glover, 1877 (83.88 %). Malathion treatment caused a 100 % mortality of the predator ladybird 36 hours after treatment, while the lowest amount was observed in the Dayabon at 10 ml l<sup>-1</sup> with 33.34 % mortality.</p>
