Clothes moths and carpet beetles are looking forward to a summer's feast on im- 

 properly cared for woolens . To protect woolens during the warmer months, follow 

 one or more of the suggested programs: 



1. Dry clean or wash woolens and place them in clean plastic storage bags or 

 other insect-tight containers. 



2. Woolens that are not dry cleaned or washed should be hung in bright sunlight 

 for a full day and brushed thoroughly before storing. Pay particular atten- 

 tion to pocket interiors, cuffs, and folds when brushing. 



3. If the storage area is not insect-tight, as is true of most closets, trunks, 

 and boxes, vacuum the container thoroughly and spray all inside surfaces with 

 either 5-percent DDT or 0,5-percent lindane, applied from a pressurized spray 

 can. 



4. Cedar-lined chests are usually insect-tight, but all fabrics need to be insect- 

 free before storing. The cedar oil vapors destroy small larvae, but do not kill 

 larger ones. As added insurance in cedar chests, you can spray the inside sur- 

 faces as suggested above or use a fumigant material. Either naphthalene or PDB 

 (paradichlorobenzine) is the fumigant commonly used in moth crystals, flakes, 



or balls. Use at least 1 pound of crystals, flakes, or balls for every 100 

 cubic feet of space. 



5. The clothing itself can be protected by treating in light amounts with DDT 

 (5-percent oil spray or 10-percent dust] or liberally moistening with a fluoride- 

 base fabric solution. Protection will last a year or more unless the clothes 

 are washed or dry cleaned. Caution : Infants clothing should be washed or dry 

 cleaned before use.
