Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This is a detailed guide to using miscellaneous substances against bedbugs, cockroaches, clothes moths, and carpet beetles. The author, an entomologist with the US Bureau of Entomology, conducted numerous tests to investigate the efficacy of various materials, both individually and when combined, against these household pests. Detailed tables give the results of these tests and include information on the number and duration of tests, percentage of insects killed, and active and inert ingredients. Substances were tested as oils, emulsions, powders, and pastes, and the author even conducted fumigation tests. Importantly, the author also investigated how the insects were affected by the substances, whether through stomach poisoning or contact exposure. In addition to listing the most effective ingredients against each pest, the book also contains helpful information on identifying the species of insects and assessing the level of infestation in homes and other buildings. The author emphasizes that successful pest control requires using the correct treatment for the specific insect and applying it thoroughly. This book should be of significant value to pest control professionals and homeowners alike.
