1950 Treatment for Termites

Prevention is more effective combattant against termites than many of the more popular attempts at cure, according to H.E. Ellis, in charge of agricultural engineering for the State College Extension Service. The best prevention, says Ellis, is a treatment of 5 percent DDT in No. 2 fuel oil. In fact, a single treatment can offer as much as five years of protectin if applied properly. (From Extension Farm-News, published September 1950.)
