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 destroys all species of sweet eating ants. It 
is composed of small glass containers 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 infes¬ 
tation 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 gar¬ 
den. 
Antrol syrup, 4-oz. bottle, 20c.; 
f lint, 50c.; quart, 90c.; gallon can, 
2.75. Containers of heavy glass with 
rust-proof aluminum lids which can 
be used year after year. 10c. each; 
$1.00 per dozen.
