Protects Bulb Plantings 
against ravages of rats, mice, moles and other destructive rodents. Rodopel 
is a new material so highly distasteful to rodents that they refuse to go 
near it in their search of food. Three years of study in laboratories and in 
the plantings of nationally known bulb growers have shown that damage by 
rodents is wholly eliminated when Rodopel is used. 
How to Use Rodopel 
It does not kill rodents but drives them away from the plantings. It is 
harmless to pets and birds. 
Rodopel is simple to use. It is only necessary to scatter a small amount 
(about one heaping tablespoonful—more is harmless) around each bulb at 
planting time. 
For small plantings done with a trowel drop a pinch of Rodopel in the 
bottom of the hole; set the bulb; partially cover the bulb with soil; then 
scatter more Rodopel around the bulb to ring it; and cover as usual. 
For large plantings where the bed is dug out, scatter Rodopel lightly over 
the bottom of the bed; set the bulbs in place; spread a small amount of 
soil to partially cover the bulbs; scatter more Rodopel around the bulbs 
and cover as usual. 
Rodopel is— 
Harmless to bulbs. 
Harmless to other vegetation. 
Non-poisonous. 
Clean and pleasant to use. 
Odor pleasant to humans—distasteful to rodents. 
Packed in two sizes— 
2-gallon size, sufficient for 100 bulbs, $2.00 
5-gallon size, sufficient for 250 bulbs, $3.75 
Recommended for all bulbs liable to be eaten by rodents. 
For your convenience in applying Rodopel it is impregnated on high grade 
peat moss which aids in preparing the bulb bed.
