Abstract	Polyethylene film controlled release packets utilizing ethylene dibromide (EDB) and pdichlorobenzene (PDB) were designed and tested against late instar larvae of Galleria mellonella (L.). EDB controlled release packets gave 100% control of larvae in 48 h under experimental conditions at 26.6° and 32.3°C. PDB controlled release packets gave 13.3 and 17.2% control of larvae in 96 h under similar temperature regimes. Permeation constants for the EDB and PDB controlled release systems were derived from experimental rates observed in 4 and 6 mil polyethylene dispenser packets at temperatures of l0.0°-35.0°C.
