New Insect Repellent
Available
The latest thing in all purpose insect repellents is diethyl toluamide.
Test repellents containing this chemical display twice as much resistance to normal “wear-off action” as do other types, say entomologists at VPI.
Citing U. S. Department of Agriculture reports, the entomologists s^y the new repellent can be safely applied to the skin or clothing and will successfully protect the wearer against mosquitoes, chiggers, ticks, fleas, and biting flies It offers better protection against mosquitoes generally than any other single chemical or combination of chemicals.
Its high resistance to rubbing means longer-lasting protection for farmers and all outdoorsmen. The new repellent outperforms all others against thq stable fly and is as good as any other for deer flies or sand flies. It is the best repellent so far developed for ticks. In addition, a pleasant lotion “feel” makes it ideal for picnickers and backyard gardeners.
Clothing and other fabrics can be readily treated with diethyl toluamide by saturating them with emulsions or dry-cleaning preparations containing the chemical.
