Excerpt from Household and Camp InsectsThe almost constant demand for information relating to house hold insects has resulted in practically exhausting the edition Of Museum Bulletin 136 dealing with the control Of ¿ies and other household insects. There have been since the above-mentioned bulletin appeared several important discoveries in relation to remedial measures, 'in particular the availability Of dilute solutions of arsenite or arsenate Of soda and the comparatively inexpensive and nearly harmless sodium ¿uoride for the destruction of ants and some other insects, and the efficiency Of superheating. The household insects are, broadly speaking, the camp and field pests Of man, and since under army conditions the need for control in the one situation or the other may alternate rapidly, it was considered advisable to cover both phases in this publication. There have been added, largely for convenience, brief discussions of control meas ures for a few Of the more important pests Of domestic animals.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
