Abstract
The use of fenoxycarb, an insect growth regulator, for the control of the webbing clothes moth, Tineola bisselliella (Hum.), in museum collections is discussed. Results indicate that there is a concentration-dependent mortality for Tineola bisselliella due to fenoxycarb exposure. Despite its effectiveness, caution is advised when using fenoxycarb because of the possibility of prolonged larval development leading to increased feeding.
