The Effect of Hydrogen Cyanide on the Eggs of the Common Furniture Beetle, Anobium punctatum (Deg.)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 July 2009
Extract
The effect on the eggs of the common furniture beetle, Anobium punctatum, to fumigation with hydrogen cyanide at a concentration of 4·25 mg./litre and four concentration/time exposures, varying from 4·3 to 42·5 mg. hr. per litre has been determined. Complete mortality was obtained in all cases. Comparison with data available for larvae show that the eggs are less resistant, from which it is concluded that commercial treatments adequate for infested wood will also kill eggs.
