“…The treated fabrics showed effectiveness mothproofing activity against the larvae of carpet beetle, Anthrenus verbasci, as feeding protein fibers after exposing to moth for six months . It should be reminded that there are few valid research studies related to effects resulting from the enzyme excretion of Dermestes Maculatus (Caldeira, Dias, Terra, & Ribeiro, 2007) and the fulfillment of protective treatments has been accomplished in order to prevent its destructive influences (Rajendran & Hajira Parveen, 2005), especially on textile fibers. Don-pedro (Don-Pedro, 1985) suggested that ground citrus peels, particularly orange peel, have an appreciable antifeeding effect against C. maculatus and, to a lesser extent, D. maculatus.…”

There is a growing need for eco-friendly mothproofing property owing to stringent environmental regulations. One type of insects responsible for critical damage of the usual protein wool fabric is the hide beetle Dermestes maculatus. In this research, efficient mothproofing procedure is introduced through natural dyeing of protein wool fabric with walnut hull and henna as environmental friendly dyes. The wool fabrics were first mordanted with aluminum sulfate and then dyed with walnut hull and henna dyes. The mothproofing properties of control, walnut hull, and henna-dyed wool samples were evaluated statistically. Mothproofing was assessed through the study of damages on wool surface by the larvae of hide beetle, Dermestes maculatus, as feeding protein fibers and wool weight loss (%) were measured. The damage intensity of wool fabric surface was confirmed with scanning electron microscopy images. The analysis of variance was utilized to obtain the optimum conditions for mothproofing. Further, reflectance and absorbance of wool samples were reported. Finally, the experimental results indicated highest protection against Dermestes maculatus on the both walnut hull and henna-dyed protein wool.

“…Human food products that D. maculatus infests include dried fish (Osuji, 1975;Zakka et al, 2013), milk powders and cheese (Rajendran and Parveen, 2005) and mophane larvae (also known as phane) (Mpuchane et al, 2000). D. maculatus also infests durable goods such as hides, woolen materials (Rajendran and Parveen, 2005) and silkworm cocoons (Veer et al, 1996). In addition to the numerous products that are affected by this insect, commercial poultry operations (Axtel and Arends, 1990;Samish et al, 1992;Geden and Carlson, 2001;Geden and Steinkraus, 2003) and museums (Su and Scheffrahn, 1990;Zhang, 2012) also experience infestations.…”

“…Prior to the introduction of the larger grain borer P. truncatus, S. zeamais was reported as the most important pest of stored maize in Africa (Arbogast and Mullen, 1990). Pests' infestations are responsible for changes in chemical composition of stored food, reduction in nutritional values and contamination by harmful compounds (Rajendran and Parveen, 2005).…”

The maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais is a major storage pest of maize that causes significant quantitative and qualitative losses to the farmer. The extent of damage caused by S. zeamais to stored maize depends on the initial level of infestation on the field before harvest. The levels of infestations on three different portions of maize cob were studied. Maize was planted during the minor planting season (September-December) of 2008. Maize seeds were sown on 9 plots each measuring 7.0 m x 1.5 m. Matured maize cobs were harvested 110 days after emergence. Ten cobs were randomly selected from each of the plots, dehusked and cut into three portions: top, middle and bottom and stored separately in sealed plastic containers for 5 weeks. Weevils were counted weekly during the storage period. Percent damaged seeds and numbers of holes on damaged grains were counted for each portion. Percent weight loss due to S. zeamais infestation was calculated for the different maize portions. Weevil infestations were recorded on all the portions 1 week after storage. Large numbers of S. zeamais were recorded on all the portions at the end of the storage period. The middle portion recorded significantly more S. zeamais than the top and bottom portions. Percent damaged seeds; percent weight loss and mean number of holes on damaged seeds did not differ significantly.
