In 1824 a memoir on the control of Sparganothis pilleriana by 



Maffre de Rigaud was published. Among the methods tried were 



the collection of the larvae, defoliation, decortication, the planting 



of trap-crops between the vine stocks, and painting the stocks with 



mixtures contained decoctions of strong-smelling plants and very 



old lees of olive oil. In one experiment a number of lighted torches 



w^ere placed at night in the vineyard, the moths being then driven from 



their resting places into the flames. A great uncle of Maft're de Rigaud, 



Rigaud de Belbeze, was the author of a memoir on the control of this 



moth, which was printed in 1730.
