What are the correct methods for disinfecting silkworm rooms and silkworm tools?
How should silkworm rooms and silkworm tools be disinfected?
Before raising silkworms, silkworm rooms must be strictly disinfected. Disinfection methods include fumigation, spraying bleaching powder solution, formalin, and brushing with lime slurry.
After the silkworm tools have been washed and sun-dried, move them back into the silkworm room, spray the silkworm room and silkworm tools with bleaching powder solution containing 1% available chlorine, and keep them moist for half an hour. Small silkworm tools such as silkworm nets and silkworm chopsticks can be disinfected by boiling after being washed clean.
