CHILD KILLED by ROACH POISON
A seven year old boy accidentally kicked his football on the top of the kitchen cabinet. When he went after it he noticed a cracker, spread with what he thought was peanut butter. He ate it, and died the following day because the spread was a poisonous roach killer. Any bug killer that bears a Caution or the word Poison on the label is dangerous to have around the house. Now you can buy a bug killer that is absolutely non-poisonous. This new discovery is called Dil-Kil. Children, birds, pets and humans can accidentally eat the new non-poisonous Dil-Kil without harm. Why? Because Dil-Kil does not kill by poisoning; instead, it kills by smothering cockroaches, ants, bedbugs and other crawling bugs. Just blow new non-poisonous Dil-Kil Powder deep into the cracks with a Dil-Kil blow gun. The results are amazing. Dil-Kil remains effective for a long time when kept dry.
