I, as a representative of Apex Sangyo Co., Ltd., would like to emphasize that pest control in the ship is one of the most important problems for raising up efficiency of ship operation. The insecticidal lacquer is newly-born weapon for insect control mainly for cockroaches which the most of ships are infested as much as rodentia. Insecticide called "Dieldrin" which is contained in this particular lacquer has a remarkable residual effect which we have never found in other insecticides. Since it has been considered difficult to have complete kill of cockroaches by cyanide gas fumigation accomplished in compliance with present Quarantine Regulations, I, therefore, am sure that this insecticidal Lacquer be suggested to be hired in addition to the said fumigation performance. After several field experiments, another thing to be emphasized by the lecturer is, on above reason, rat control by cyanide gas fumigation and insect control with various sorts of insecticides should be considered separately, since insect extermination requires long-lasting residual effects. Ingredients of the insecticidal lacquer is as follows ; Hexachloro-octahydro-epoxy-dimethano-naphthalene (Dieldrin) Benzene Hexachloride (BHC) Solvent (Clear lacquer) Vinyl-resion solution [numerical formula]
