Extract

Early this year a complaint was received from Mr. George A. Cameron of Inverness, Nova Scotia, that black beetles were numerous in the basement of his home. They were crawling into stored milk and meat, as well as into flour bins; in fact, they showed a great liking for places difficult of access. On occasions they appeared in other rooms of the house, even dropping down into the shades of lighting fixtures. Similar trouble had been experienced the previous year. No actual damage was reported aside from waste when the presence of beetles necessitated the discarding of food stuffs.
