room, I hoard the back door open and

on going to investigate I saw a rough

WHAT IS
CALCIUM ARSEN ATE?
;
“Calcium arsenate is a light, fluffy,
poisonous white dust. It is applied pure,
not mixed or diluted with any other
material. When applied with proper
machines in the still night air, it forms
a dust cloud which hovers and slowly
settles, the fine particles penetrating
even between the bracts of the squares.
