FLYOSAN

HOW TO USE FLYOSAN

Against Bedbugs: A pair of bedbugs will occasionally stray into the best regulated families. Be ready for them. FLYOSAN kills them too.

Spray the beds, crevices in the wall, around

the baseboards or wainscotting-they will come BEDBUGS. out of their places and another dose of FLYOSAN

will finish them.

Open the windows and any slight odor in the room will rapidly disappear.

Rip open the corner of the mattress and spray the liquid well inside. This will kill all bedbugs inside the ticking. Spray the bedding and outside of the mattress too, if you are suspicious of it. An hour or two in the fresh air removes all traces of FLYOSAN.
