ANTS DESTROYED IN 
THEIR NESTS 
New Method “Gets” Them at Their Source— 
Safe, Permanent, Effective 
The Antrol system is adapted to any size house or 
garden and quickly destroys all species of sweet 
eating ants. It is composed of small glass contain¬ 
ers and a special formula of syrup. The containers 
are partially filled with syrup and placed about the 
outside edges of the house or along “ant’’ trails in 
the garden if the infestation occurs there. The ants 
smell the syrup, eat it and then transmit its mild 
poison to the queen in the nest. Soon the entire 
ant colony is destroyed! 
The complete system should cover every 15 feet 
around the outside of the house or “ant” trails in 
the garden. 
Prices —Antrol sets containing 4 
containers and 1 4-oz. bottle of 
syrup, $0.75; Antrol extra con¬ 
tainers (each), 10c; Antrol syrup, 
4-oz. bottles, 35c; pints, 85c; gals., 
$3.50.
