Good results were obtained against the moth Semiothisa fidoniata 
Gn. on large trees with a contact spray prepared by boiling together 
tob?,cco and soft soap in water for half an hour. It appeared to be re- 
pellent to larvae and ovipositing females, and most of the eggs on 
sprayed leaves failed to hatch.
