Why let mosquitoes spoil your relaxation

to be rid of them, quickly and without fuss.
Do you ask houO? With Prevented, the
wonderful insectcide that is sprayed.
You can't imagine anything more easy to
use than Prevented. To clear a porch or
bedroom of mosquitoes and keep them out
for hours you simply give everything
good spraying, especially the walls and
screens, and including the chairs and

Prevented will not stain or injure wall paper,
