Different concentrations of CO₂ were tested as curative control method against the the saw-toothed beetle, Oryzaephilus saurinamensis and the warehouse moths, Ephestia Spp. which attack the dry date fruits during storage. The mortality percentages positively correlated with CO₂ concentration and the exposure period. Treatment with 20% CO₂ (lowest concentration) for 1 day exposure gave 35.3% mortality of O. saurinamensis but only 16.9 and 26.6% mortality of Ephestia Spp.larvae and pupae, respectively. 98.9% mortality of O. saurinamensis was obtained with 50% CO₂ (highest concentration) for 7 days, while the same treatment gave 93.3% and 90.3%. mortality of Ephestia Spp.larvae and pupae, respectively.
