Subject: Thermobia domestica
I'm not sure exactly what type of information is needed concerning the firebrat (most commonly known as Thermobia domestica Pack.), but these sources should provide a good, quick introduction: Norman Hickin, 1985, Bookworms: The Insect Pests of Books. London: Sheppard Press. ISBN 0-900661-38-0 (pages 42-44). Arnold Mallis and Richard V. Crane, 1982, Silverfish. In Handbook of Pest Control, edited by Arnold Mallis, pp. 79-92. Cleveland: Franzak and Foster. ISBN 0-942588-00-2. Bio-Integral Resource Center, 1989, Fabric and Paper Pests: Leat-Toxic Pest Management. Berkeley: Bio-Integral Resource Center (no ISBN number, address is BIRC, PO Box 7414, Berkeley, CA 94707). I hope that these provide the information needed, but the individual is free to contact me if additional information is needed. Mike Trinkley, Ph.D. Chicora Foundation, Inc.
