tablespoons of 72-percent chlordane E.C. in 3 gallons of water. This will be enough 

 to treat the average- size home. 



Such a treatment will control ants, crickets, spiders, and other outdoor pests as they 

 try to come into the home over the foundation. It is a good safety practice to avoid 

 using insecticide sprays and baits inside the home, but it will be a safety practice 

 only if the chlordane is handled correctly and is stored where children cannot reach 

 it.'
