A seven year method for killing pea weevils uses a carbon bisulphide fumigation box measuring five by three by three feet. Made of pine lumber with tight joints and cloth lining, it holds about 30 bushels of peas. Fumigation can be done by pouring bisulphide on seed peas or on a saucer placed with grain, applicable to other infested grain. Best after harvest, with fall midwinter and spring as ideal times.
