Abstract
Among the acari there are many species that damage food products (Sinha 1964; Solomon 1936; Cunnington 1965). However, very little information is available on the effect of fumigation on these organisms. Amaro (1963) developed a technique for the fumigation of the eggs of Acarus siro L. that exploits some of the behaviour patterns and preferences of that species. Since this method cannot be applied to Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank), a pest of stored products, an attempt was made to seek other methods by which eggs of this species of a reasonably uniform age could be obtained for fumigation.
