Naphthalene should be sprinkled over the dry 
bulbs as a repellent to thrips and white fly* 
FOB FABM USE 
For farm use Naphthalene should be mixed 
with equal parts of dry earth, sand or fertilizer 
and distributed over the soil at the rate of 40D 
pounds of straight Naphthalene to the acre* 
Crossed disced and harrowed in thoroughly 
and deeply as possible. This is equal to ten 
pounds to 100 square yards. For killing wire 
worms the amount of Naphthalene should be 
doubled* 
Naphthalene flakes are most commonly used 
for repelling soil pests such as wire worms, 
maggots^ moles, snails and certain other in¬ 
sects. It can be used without burning or fla¬ 
voring even the most tender root crops. It is 
highly recommended by bulb growers for 
protection against thrips, white fly and cer¬ 
tain other stinging insects. 
USE WHEN SEEDING 
Tests show that the greatest success is de¬ 
rived from Naphthalene if it is worked into 
the trenches at the time of planting seed. The 
repellent in Naphthalene is the continual gas 
it gives off when moistened; this gas is neither 
harmful to humans or 
pets. If the material is 
placed on top of the 
ground it will soon 
evaporate without 
giving its fullest pro¬ 
tection.
