Watch Your
Vaporizers
AUSTIN—Don’t put too much
stock in advertised claims for the
bug-killing properties of so-called
“vaporizers,” State Health Officer
George W. Cox cautioned Texans
today.
He said “indiscriminate use”,of
the gadgets in homes or sleeping
quarters could make the fumes
more toxic to humans than to in-
sects.

tests and a reading “Wedding
I Flower From God’s Garden” was
vaporized by the heat generated
by the bulb underneath.
Widely advertised and sold fot
“killing bugs the easy way,” one
brand comes complete with an 8
months supply of chemicals, and
makes claims of being "non-toxic,
odorless, guaranteed positive ex-
termination of flies, roaches, mos-
quitos, all insects . . . Meets all
state and federal requirements.”
h
J
“Because of the health hazards
inherent in the missuse of insec-
ticide vaporizers used as fumi-
gators, (the committee) recom-
mends against their use in living
quarters.”
The health officer conceded the
gadgets might have some bene-
ficial application in commercial or
industrial establishments were hu-
man exposure will not be continu-
ous and food contamination will
not occur.
