IMPORTANT NEW INSECTICIDE
DEVELOPED BY UNIVERSITY
AND HERCULES COMPANY
Continued from First Pege)

against hOuSeflieS and cattle flies,
Thanite is important commercially
because it is produced entirely
from plentiful domestic raw mate
rials. The bases for practically all
of the many insecticides formerly
on the market are made from raw
materials which are not available
in sufficient quantities in the Unit
ed States to be of economic impOr-
tance.
Studies showed that although ex-
treme exposure to Thanite may
produce primary irritation to some
EeOple and animals, there is no
progressive damage. and recovery
from i'll effects is rapid unOn re-
mOVal from exposure Therefore,
the new product is safe for home
Use as we'll as economical 1t can
be used, too, without injury to
walls and furnishings when spray
ed with usual procedure.
Experimental work also showed
that Thanite alone was more eff
fective than when used in cOmbi-
ration with other insecticides. al
though good sprays may be pro-
duced by combining Thanitc and
pyrethum. The material stapds up
we'll under normal storage cOndi-
tions for considerable periods of
time. and can he packaged in a.
wide variety of cOntiners success
fully.
Of first importance. however. is
the fact that Thanite in medium
concentrations. when sprayed with
CcmmOnly-uscd apparatus. gives
almost complete control of flies.
