Abstract

Studies on biological activity of d-empenthrin against textile pests were performed. d-Em-penthrin was found to have sufficient efficacy against casemaking clothes moth and black carpet beetle as a volatile insecticide at room temperature under closed conditions. A d-empenthrin mothproofer strip which contained 0.5gram of d-empenthrin on a 150cm2 (10×15cm) filter paper could control textile pests in a wardrobe for more than 6 months. It was also indicated that small pieces (for example, 3×10cm, 3×3cm) of d-empenthrin mothproofer strip could control even in the chest of a drawer packed with clothes.
