Abstract: Free-choice chamber- and compulsory-tests were carried out to investigate the effect of sweet clover leaves (Melilotus officinalis [L.] Pall.) and the granulated oil extract of the patchouli-plant (Pogostemon patchouly Pellet.) on the webbing clothes moth Tineola bisselliella Hum. Granular patchouli oil was found to be both, repellent and toxic. Thus the intensity of infestation on woolen fabric samples had been reduced largely. Sweet clover leaves showed only a short-term repellent effect on the adults, whereas in long-term experiments an increase in infestation was found.
