Get ahead of the Ants before they get ahead of you 

Michell’s Insect Destroyers, Etc. 
To bear out our reputation as one of the most complete seed-stores in the world, we constantly carry adequate stocks of all of the various 
Insecticides, fungicides, pest controls, etc., 
listed on this and the next three pages. 
It is natural, with so many brands on the market, that the 
same results can be accomplished with several different brands in any one class. Many of course, have their distinct values, which we have 
tried to bring out in the brief descriptions. 
In selecting a remedy for garden pests and diseases, it is well to bear the following mm mind. 
Contact Insecticides kill chiefly through actual contact and fumes, and for best results must be sprayed directly on the sect. These 
are used to combat sucking insects which feed on the inside of the foliage. 
Stomach Poisons are used to control chewing or leaf-eating insects, and, to be effective, must adhere to the leaf-surface on which the 
insect feeds. 
Fungicides are used to combat plant diseases of a fungous nature. 
Dilution rates where shown are general. Follow specific directions on each container
