TABLETS

Red Diamond Moth Tablets whilst harmless to human beings and domestic animals, are the most effective destroyers of insect life known..

Their presence will not only render Wardrobes,

·Presses, etc, immune from Moths, but if scattered about rooms, they will keep them free from Flies and such pests as Cockroaches, Anta, Spiders, etc.

Red Diamond Moth Tablets are of greater potency than Naphthalene Balls, and have the added advan- tages of being non-inflammable and more volatile — a few moments' exposure to the air is sufficient to free anything with which they have been in contact, from their odour.
