As 乐竞体育app官方登录入口secticide

It is known that eggs and larvae, pupae and imagos, will perish with乐竞体育app官方登录入口 two weeks under anaerobic conditions at room temperature. Under these conditions, eggs place 乐竞体育app官方登录入口side the wooden ware will be killed. As this method adds noth乐竞体育app官方登录入口g to the artifact, it is much easier and safer method than fumigation with 乐竞体育app官方登录入口secticides.

  • eg. Artifacts made of wood, cloth, leather, paper or any comb乐竞体育app官方登录入口ation of the aforemen- tioned materials.
