Abstract
As a result of preliminary tests, it is believed that bands employed as cocooning traps for codling moth, Carpocapsa pomonella L., larvae may be treated with a chemical toxic to the larvae. By use of a suitable chemical the necessity of removing and destroying, at regular intervals, the larvae that cocoon beneath the bands, may be obviated. In this connection, beta-naphthol and an oil emulsion have each given some promise.
