The Use of Hydrocyanic Acid Gas for Exterminating Household Insects
Recent successful applications of hydrocyanic acid gas for the extermination
of insects infecting green-house plants have suggested the use of the same
remedy for household pests. It is now an established fact that 1½ grains of
98 per cent pure cyanide of potassium volatilized in a cubic foot of space,
will, if allowed to remain for a period of not less then 3 hours, kill all
roaches and similar insects.
