Abstract

Insecticidal effect or sulfuryl fluoride ($SO_2F_2$) to cigarette beetle, Lasiodema serricorne (F.), was studied in two different containers, one was 1m$^3$(without cardboard block) and the other was 0.5m$^3$(with cardboard block). Adults and larvae were transferred into a small metal can before placed in the containers. Each can was held for 8, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours after $SO_2F_2$(10, 20, 30, and 40 g/$\ell$) treatment. All adults were killed in an 1m$^3$container. Larval mortality was 99 to 100% when the dosage of SO$_2$F$_2$was 10 and 20 g/$\ell$. Cardboard was attached between two 0.5m$^3$ containers ; one was fumigation area and the other was insect area. SO$_2$F$_2$ penetrated cardboard within 24 hours in most trials. $SO_2F_2$could affect all adults and larvae regardless of their susceptibility. All adults were killed at 8 hours in a 0.5m$^3$ container. But low mortality of larvae was recorded at 8 hours when small dosage was treated (30% in 10 g/$\ell$, 87.2% in 20 g/$\ell$). The mortality was increased as SO$_2$F$_2$ dosage increased. Six different metals (stainless, copper, brass, aluminum, iron, and zinc) were also tested to study metal corrosion and discoloration. No corrosion and discoloration was observed in most metals treated with $SO_2F_2$.
