Abstract
Time-mortality relationships of different developmental stages of clothes moths, Tinea and Tineola species, were studied for exposure to −20°C. A model presented to describe the survival curves fitted the data well and was useful for estimating exposure times needed to reach a required percentage mortality for disinfestation treatments. Tineola bisselliella was the most tolerant of the four tineid species tested and eggs were the most tolerant developmental stage. Complete kill of T. bisselliella eggs was achieved within 30 h exposure to −20°C.
