FLYOSAN

MOTHS

Thousands of dollars worth of Furs, draperies, carpets, food, etc., are destroyed annually by moths. The eggs are deposited directly on materials or in the corners of closets and trunks. Two breeds occur during the year. Eggs are deposited in May and August, and are hatched about one month later. By using FLYOSAN it is no longer necessary to pack garments, etc. away in expensive cedar chests, to place valuable fure in storage plants, or to pack various articles in boxes or trunks with offensive mothballs,

Clean the closets thoroughly by washing with soap and water and allow to dry and after a thorough brushing hang clothes inside, than spray FLYOSAN freely at top and bottom and close the door quickly. Repeat the spraying twice monthly, or more often if moths are detected, and these destructive pests will be controlled.

FLYOSAN will evaporate quickly from fabrics if they are placed in a well ventilated place.
