THE FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGIST 
CALCIUM CYANIDE 
The newly produced chemical dust is being used 
the world over to control insect and rodent pests. New 
uses are being reported continually. 
Calcium Cyanide has the unique property of giving 
off the killing agent—hydrocyanic acid gas—on contact 
with the moisture in the air. Hydrocyanic acid gas 
is a powerful insecticide. The dust is simply applied 
and the moisture in the air finishes the job. 
Calcium Cyanide is recommended to control 
gophers, salamanders, turtles, land crabs, ants, chinch 
bugs, rats, nematodes, grubs, moles, citrus aphis, be- 
sides numerous other pests in many parts of the world. 
Leaflets gladly furnished upon request.
