Summary: | The nanocidal and antifeedant activities of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO
2
) against the widespread pest of wool carpets, apparel, building insulation, and other wool textiles,
Tineola bisselliella
(common clothes moth), were investigated using an industry-recognized bioassay test, and a feeding preference test. Wool fabric was pre-treated with citric acid/sodium hypophosphite, TiO
2
applied, and then loosely bound TiO
2
was removed by ultrasound. A statistically significant (
