Orkin Control of
Insects Is Public
Health Measure
Control of insect pests is a defi
nite public health asset, asserted
Otto Orkin in describing the serv
ice his exterminating concern at
315 Peachtree offers housewives in
Atlanta and fifty other southern
communities.
He was referring to the filth
and disease bearing animals—
roaches, rats and mice—whose ex
istence in homes and businesses is
a potential menace to the welfare,
health and well being of residents
and customers.
For 15 years in Atlanta, his con
cern has established a record of
satisfactory service in eliminating
insect pests. Through many years
of experience, dating back 32 years
ago when Mr. Orkin was a pioneer
in the field, he has built up a staff
of skilled workers who are avail
able to jfrove the value of pest
control and elimination when this
can be of service to patrons.
A call to Walnut 1050 will bring
an inspector from Orkin’s for an
estimate—which of course differs
with the size of the task to be per
formed but which will be reason
able In nature.
