The Southern Cultivator recommends bisulphide of carbon as the sole method to destroy insects in stored grain. It is a liquid that evaporates, its fumes sink, and it can ignite if near fire. Use one pound per fifty bushels in tight bins, more in open cribs, with careful handling and no fire until fumes clear. Rats may be driven out by pouring into their nests.
