-HERE’S HOW THIS WONDERI^ INVENTION WORKS
.1_ m v ___... 4 L« n T Li n i
Insect-o-lite is a remarkable new insect killer wnicn
works on a very simple principle. It is a light shade
impregnated with powerful insect killing DDT crys
tals which vaporize from the heat of an ordinary
light bulb and are spread invisibly through the
room. Just snap it on any light bulb and Insect-o
lite goes to work in these two simple ways:
First: All light-attracted insects which come near
the shade absorb the DDT and soon die.
Second: Heat from the lamp bulb inside the shade
vaporizes the insect killing crystals which are
distributed by air currents to ceilings and wall
... - . . . . . . ■ . i
il not contact the shade can touch the invisible
I crystals in other parts of the room and die.
J^eave the Insect-o-lite shade on the bulb for a whole
/season. Small rooms are naturally coated with the
/crystals quicker than large rooms, so the length of
/ time required to completely protect any room varies
I with the size of the room. A light bulb left burning
/ 2 or 3 nights generally does the job in most rooms.
/ After that ordinary normal use of the light will con
j tinqe to protect rooms against insects affected by
j DDT.

IN LIVING ROOM,
DEN OR BEDROOM
Snap Insect-o-lite over any
lamp bulb in the room. It
can also be used inside an
ordinary lamp shade where
it provides constant protec
tion against insect pests
entering the room. Heat
waves carry the invisible
DDT to room surfaces
whenever the bulb is on.
IN THE KITC
An ideal spot for yi
sect-o-lite shade
kitchen is on a ceili
fixture. Snap one
any light bulb in
allow to burn f
nights and look
freedom from i;
are affected
Harmless to a
insects!
CLOSETS
A permanent Insect-o-lite
installation will give year
'round protection against
moths and silverfish. Sepa
rate clothes in closet to pro
vide for easy flow of warm
air from light bulb, leave
light burning 2 or 3 days
moving garments occasion
ally for better distribution
of crystals. Insect-o-lite
won’t harm even the most
fragile fabric.
PORCHES—PATIOS
Ideal for this type of in
stallation because the In
sect-o-Iite kills all insects
attracted to the light, rids
porches of annoying and
germ-carrying bugs. Larger
areas may require the use
of more than one Insect-o
lite shade to provide the
greatest amount of protec
tion from insects which get
into the porch.

Ion mly
Just think of it! Without any effort on
your part Insect-o-lites go to work ridding
your home of all annoying and germ-bear
ing insects normally affected by DDT. No
mussy sprays or powders to use—just
snap on a light bulb and forget it!
HOW EFFECTIVE IS INSECT-O-LITE?
It has been proven by exhaustive tests in the nationally known testing labora
tories of Triplett & Barton, Burbank, California, that when the Insect-o-lite is
properly used DDT is distributed to all surfaces of the room. Dr. C. H. Curran
of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, has pointed out that the
amounts of DDT distributed by the Insect-o-lite are lethal to insects and yet
harmless to humans and warm-blooded animals. These invisible crystals will not
injure even the most delicate fabrics.
