These pests infest apricots, and other cherries, raspberries, fruits and feed on almost any available plant or animal material. Particularly annoying in homes they are found in cupboards, drawers and closets. The onsecticides dieldren, aldrin, chlordane or DDT may be applied as a dust, granules or spray. Apply insecticides around foundations of buildings, around the bases of trees and shrubs, and to wcxxl piles and other ground cover which afford protection to earwigs.
