Abstract
A new fumigant consisting of 3 parts by volume of ethylene dichloride and 1 part by volume of carbon tetrachloride is very effective against stored product pests. It is cheap, non-inflammable, non-explosive, non-injurious to stored commodities and is not dangerous to human life. It is about five times as toxic as carbon tetrachloride.Keywords
