Because added CO 2accumulates in lower regions of grain bulks (Alagusundaram et al., , storage operators may be able to use the positive geotropism of adult . ferrugineus and the tendency of the insect to be attracted to high- CO 2levels to assist in the control of this pest with controlled atmospheres. 6 SUBLETHAL EFFECTS ON INSECTS Insects are occasionally exposed to elevated, but nonlethal, concentrations of CO 2either because of CO 2fumigation in nonairtight grain bins, which can take 3 weeks or more and may not be effective (Alagusundarum et al., , or because of the natural increase in CO 2from the metabolism of insects, molds, and grain in hot spots. Natural CO 2levels between 2 and 3% by volume in air (which is 1-fold higher than the ambient airlevels) have been found throughout infested nonairtight granaries (Sinha et al., .Levels ranging from 5 to 1% have been reported in localize
