Cockroaches
Dear Aunt Daisy, In the September 20 issue of The Listener I read about the troublesome Cockroach. I saw this remedy carried
out, and it proved more than effective. I happened to be living in an hotel absolutely over-run with these hateful creatures. A new chef happened along, and he was horrified at the hundreds of cockroaches. He purchased a bag of Paris Green, and sprinkled it all around the edge of the floors, range, safes, and cupboards. In a few days there was not a sign of a cockroach; they had completely vanished, and we never saw a cockroach after. Here’s hoping,
Annette
) Thank you, Annette. However, I must just add a word of warning to people who | may use the Paris Green-it is POISON, | | so don’t put it if children or animals ecgena get at it.
