Abstract
Comparative studies of larval feces excreted after feeding with nonmothproofed and mothproofed wool, using low concentrations of two stomach poisons as moth-and beetle-proofing agents, are described. These studies are aimed at a better understanding of the biology and physiology of wool-eating insect pests in order to find new mothproofing methods. -- AATA
