MOSQUITO OIL 
Tor oiling Mosquito-breeding Pools. A very effective 
remedy for getting rid of Mosquitoes. 
Where mosquito larvae or wrigglers are found in any 
pool, they may be killed in a few minutes by spreading a 
film of oil over the surface of the water. It is necessary 
for the larvae to come to the surface about once each two 
minutes to breath, and the oil not only prevents the air 
from entering their respiratory system, but the oil also 
enters their breathing tubes, destroying the tissues, and 
they soon die. 
The oil must be applied about once each ten days to 
keep the pool in a safe non-breeding condition. For this 
purpose our Mosquito Oil has been recommended for this 
work. 
In Midsummer the tall vegetation often obscures many 
small breeding places, and likewise makes it difficult to 
distribute the oil on the surface of the water, where needed 
— most of it striking the vegetation. 
A convenient method of applying oil is by means of small 
compressed air sprayers with cylinders of galvanized sheet 
iron. Each cylinder contains a pressure pump and will hold 
about two and one-half gallons of liquid. It may be car¬ 
ried in the hand or held by a strap thrown over the shoulder. 
Such an outfit as the Lowell Sprayer recommends itself 
very highly. 
Where large areas arc to be treated, bands of oil should 
be distributed at various convenient points, in or around 
the marsh. 
The amount of oil to be applied is one fluid ounce to 
each fifteen square feet of water surface. A loss quantity 
will often fail to kill the wrigglers. One gal. 40c., 10 gals. 
$2.75, bbl. (50 gal.) $7.00. 10-gal. cans returned, express 
prepaid, will be credited 75c.
