TermiteS Most Successfully
Killed By Pressure Treatment
Poison Pumped Into Bur-
rows, Jack LeMay Tells
Club; External Treat
ment Ineffective

"The Bureau of Agriculture
and other governmental agencies
recommend as most effective
Treatment against termites or
woodworms a pressure treatment
using an approved poisonous
chemical, Jack LeMay, who
operates the branch office of the
Terminix company of Southern
Florida in Key West, told Serv-
ice Club members last night.
A pressure mechanism is placed
against the tiny holes through
which the woodworms enter the
wood and the burrows in which
they are operating are thorough
ly saturated with the poison
which quickly kills them, Mr.. Lee
May explained. In reply to ques-
tons Mr.. LeMay stated that mere
external treatment was highly in
effective since such application
did not reach all the termites
operating.
There are three main kinds of
termites I'd subterranean, which

In Florida eight different varie-

principally in homes and the dry

After they swarm and shed
their wings they attempt to start
a new colony but this is not al
ways successful. The ''nymphs"
