Extract

It has been recognized for some time that certain stomach poisons act as contact poisons also. O'Kane and Glover (1935) were among the first to demonstrate that arsenic penetrates the integument of roaches. They give a brief historical account of work preceding 1935. Sodium fluoride has been recommended in this country as an insecticide for the control of roaches since 1915 (Marlatt).
