Abstract
The author discusses the various insects and mites attacking stored grain, flour and malt in Great Britain, and the damage they cause, together with the principal pests of food and feeding-stuffs in stores, processing factories and domestic premises. Methods of prevention and control are outlined, including the use of contact and fumigant chemicals, and non-chemical techniques such as cooling and hermetic storage; these must be coupled with effective inspection of imports.Keywords
