Treen ec. PE, .S 
A New Simplified Method for Tree, Shrub and Plant feeding. 
Eliminates costly Termite Control work— By the home owner. 


Inject-O-Soil 
Soil injective pump 
Designed for feeding trees, shrubs, etc. Unit consists of brass 
stirrup pump, 5 feet special spray hose and perforated injec- 
tor rod for reaching the feeding roots. By a slow easy hand 
pumping motion, liquids are forced into the sub-surface soil. 
Can be injected into the soil to a depth of 2!/2' which dis- 
tance cannot be reached by surface feeding. 
Liquid manures or fertilizers can be injected into the soil for 
root feeding using any fertilizer formula necessary. 
For Termites, Ants, Etc. 
Place pump in ordinary pail or bucket with stirrup on outside. 
Inject perforated rod into soil to required depth and with 
slow steady motion operate pump which forces the liquid 
materials into the soil. Where a known nest exists or its ap- 
proximate location, it is suggested that injections be made 
every 2 feet using a gallon to each injection. The quantity 
can be determined by the amount of material in the container 
before and after each application. As soil textures differ, the 
operator should use precaution in oeprating the pump in heavy 
soils where pressure should be applied more gradually in order 
to avoid wasting material by back lash. : 
In operating the pump use little pressure in order to give the material sufficient time 
to be absorbed by the soil. A slow pumping motion is all that it required. 
Price $20 Postpaid 
Inject-O-Soil Termite Exterinator Material 
for use with the Inject-O-Soil is sold in | and 5 gallon tins 
which is diluted with 6 parts of water and applied to the sub- 
surface soil. The water evaporates after injection leaving a 
high residual effect of the active materials which no insect can 
penetrate and live. One gallon of concentrate will thoroughly 
treat 20 feet of foundation footing.
