Abstract
A mixture composed of three parts by volume of ethylene dichloride to one part by volume of carbon tetrachloride is a practical household fumigant for clothes moths and carpet beetles. When confined for 48 hours in an ordinary trunk, two fluid ounces to 5 cubic feet, proved toxic to eggs and larvae of the common clothes moth, and to larvae of both the black and the varied carpet beetle, even at temperatures somewhat below 70°F. Satisfactory results were also obtained when the mixture was used in a tight closet.
