 He returned from a vacation trip a

COMBATING THE WHITE ANT. 



[Continued from pasre 14.] 

 • •ricks or concrete above the surface 

 of the ground. Where woodwork is 

 necessary, wood impregnated with a one 

 per cent solution of bichloride of mer- 

 cury should be employed. All decaying 

 wood in the vicinity of buildings should 

 be removed and the breeding places of 



he insects destroyed. Buildings on 

 'ecently cleared woodland, unless the 

 foregoing precautions are heeded, are 



■specially liable to attack by white ants 

 '•ecause of the presence of decaying 

 ■\vood and humus in the soil.
