Subject: SLA spray
While searching the archives for the collection at Mount Vernon I came across some notes about insects attack. It appears that many years ago artifacts used to be sprayed with an insecticide called 'SLA.SPRAY' as a preventive measure against pest infestation. Has anyone ever heard of this insecticide? Any information would be greatly appreciated. **** Moderator's comments: Please respond directly to the author.
