Abstract

By extracting crude benzene hexachloride with fuel oil, one may eliminate much of the objectionable odor from an insecticidal prepn. Such a soln. was used to destroy poultry lice and mites by spreading 1.5 ml. of the oil containing 1.25-1.5% y isomer on each running foot of the roost. The product is more easily applied than nicotine, is more effective, is cheaper, and is less dangerous to operator and animal. The flesh of the meat is not tainted by the prepn.
