Hi Rebecca, While having same species data is always preferable, one of the useful aspects of my review is its showing the tighter cluster of lethal temperature/time pairs at higher temperatures (Fig 2a as compared to 2b, the low temperature exposure). This convergence of many species showing complete mortality at 55C and above within short exposure times should give you confidence that 55C will kill N. rufipes as well. Deciding if you could get by using a lower temperature would be the more difficult decision. The ham industry continues to apply for Methyl Bromide critical use registration to control Red Legged Ham beetle (Copra beetle), Necrobia rufipes.

By means of VELOXY, any specie of insect will die in few weeks of expositio to anoxia; no matter of their stage of life (adult, egg, larva, pupa). Take a look to RGI's web site and see the references to VELOXY equipment Sincerely Ercole Ing.

I have Tom Strang's fatal temperature list and these guys are not on it unfortunately. I am especially interested in the high lethal temperature. Thanks!
