Despite their great potential, biological control agents have significant manufacturing, application, and stability limitations. Currently, using phytochemicals, biosynthesized nanoparticles, and bioagents to get rid of arthropods might be a good alternative that would make farmers less worried about residues and resistance. The present investigation was carried out to determine for the first time the <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> acaricidal and insecticidal efficacies of endogenous two entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), <jats:italic>Heterorhabditis indica<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Steinernema<\/jats:italic> sp. combined with either <jats:italic>Proteus mirabilis<\/jats:italic>-synthesized silver nanoparticles or <jats:italic>Rosmarinus officinalis<\/jats:italic> essential oil against the camel tick, <jats:italic>Hyalomma dromedarii<\/jats:italic> larvae and females, and greater wax moth, <jats:italic>Galleria mellonella<\/jats:italic> larvae as well. We also determined the potential effects of these treatments on the biological characteristics of <jats:italic>H. dromedarii<\/jats:italic>\u2019s engorged females. We further investigated <jats:italic>R. officinalis<\/jats:italic> essential oil (EO) profiling and nanoparticle (AgNPs) characterization. All the evaluated combinations demonstrated synergistic effects on the larvae of <jats:italic>G. mellonella<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>H. dromedarii<\/jats:italic>, as well as on engorged females. When <jats:italic>H. indica<\/jats:italic> was mixed with EO or AgNPs, it worked well than when <jats:italic>Steinernema<\/jats:italic> sp. was mixed with EO or AgNPs. This was shown by the highest number of tick and insect mortalities and the lowest lethal concentration (LC<jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>) values. One day after <jats:italic>G. mellonella<\/jats:italic> was exposed to <jats:italic>H. indica<\/jats:italic> (1,000 infective juveniles (IJs)) together with EO at 60 or 40 mg\/mL, all tested individuals died. We obtained the same results when <jats:italic>H. dromedarii<\/jats:italic> females exposed to the same level of EPN with 60 mg\/mL EO, and when <jats:italic>H. dromedarii<\/jats:italic> larvae treated with <jats:italic>H. indica<\/jats:italic> at 500 IJs + EO at 25 mg\/mL. Treatments altered all biological parameters of engorged females, revealing extremely noticeable differences between the treated and untreated groups. Gas chromatography\u2013mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis identified a total of 28 compounds in the <jats:italic>R. officinalis<\/jats:italic> EO. Visual observation showed a color change from yellow to dark brown for AgNPs biosynthesized from <jats:italic>P. mirabilis<\/jats:italic>; the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image and ultraviolet\u2013visible (UV-Vis) spectrum showed well-dispersed particles with a diameter of 5\u201345 nm; and the greatest surface plasmon peaked at 320 nm. The results demonstrated the high efficacy of combining EPN, <jats:italic>H. indica<\/jats:italic>, with EO to control tick and insect pests. This is due to its acaricidal activity on different stages of <jats:italic>H. dromedarii<\/jats:italic>, including larvae and engorged females, and its larvicidal effect on <jats:italic>G. mellonella<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7717\/peerj.18782","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,14]],"date-time":"2025-01-14T08:28:03Z","timestamp":1736843283000},"page":"e18782","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Acaricidal and insecticidal activities of entomopathogenic nematodes combined with rosemary essential oil and bacterium-synthesized silver nanoparticles against camel tick, <i>Hyalomma dromedarii<\/i> and wax moth, <i>Galleria mellonella<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.7717","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2592-8281","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Bander","family":"Albogami","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, College of Science, Taif University, Taif, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hadeer","family":"Darwish","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biotechnology, College of Sciences, Taif University, Taif, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Akram","family":"Alghamdi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, College of Science, Taif University, Taif, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2231-3983","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ahmed BahaaEldin","family":"Darwish","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Zoology, Suez University, Suez, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wafa Mohammed","family":"Al-Otaibi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, College of Science, Taif University, Taif, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohamed","family":"A.
