abstract
Abstract Not Available – First paragraph follows:
Exposure time required for the fast, efficient heat of infrared radiation to kill Lyctus powder-post beetles—in all stages of development—is governed by the thickness of the infested hardwood floor. Once the floor thickness has been determined and the exposure time known, 100% mortality of the Lyctus beetles can be expected under every square inch of area covered by a recently developed infrared unit.
