An extremely severe infestation of this moth, in the storerooms 
of a food-products factory in which fumigation was impossible, was succes 
fully controlled "by removing the stock, spraying the rooms with a solutio

Larvae of the moth Ephesti a kuhniella Zell. were dipped for 30 
seconds in dipyridyl mixtures and a 2 percent nicotine sulphate (40- 
percent), the latter being the more toxic. The dipyridyl mixture might 
in certain circumstances replace the much more costly nicotine sulphate.
