^ntrol 



The Rational oAnt Control 



Now a method has been discovered that 

 is most effective in the control of Argentine 

 and all honey-dew-loving species of ants. 

 It is called Antrol — a syrup that is placed 

 about your premises in tiny glass jars with 

 special green tops. Ants eat it as a food 

 and thus carry its mildly poisonous contents 

 to the entire colony. Soon these insects are 

 wiped out — at the source.
