KILLING VERM|N
IN THE HOUSE
Fumigate Dwellings with Hydro
cyanic Acid Gas...Is Deadly II
MishandIed.

Those contemplating moving into a
new house, and especially those about
to reoccupy country homes or ren-
summer cottages which may harbor
vermin, would do well, before they
actually occupy these houses, to con-
slider fumigating with hydrocyanic-acid
gas TO eradicate bedbues and other
pests. This gas, as well as the sodium
eyanid from which it is made, how
ever, is one of the most poisonous
substances known, and the inhalation
of a few breaths Of the gas will result
in death unless the victim be promptly
rescued. For this reason. those con-
tempIating its use should first read
carefully Farmers Bulletin No. 600,
Hydrocyanic Acid Gas Against House,
hold Insects, recently issued 10y the
department. This bulletin, by L O.
Howard and c. II. Popenoe, describes
in detail the manner in which the gas
is manufactured and used ano the pre-
cautions which must be taken to avoid
accident.
Hydrocyanic acid gas, however, is
one Of the most eiilcacious agents in
Kidding households of such pests as
bedbugs, ileas, cock.roaches, ants,
clothes moths, etc. Rats and mice,
when exposed to its fumes, run out of
their holes into the open and die there.
