EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this intriguing advertisement for Petermans Cockroach and Beetle Food, a revolutionary solution to household pest infestations during the late 19th century. Dating back to the 1890s, this advertisement showcases the effectiveness of Petermans' product against both cockroaches and beetles, with vivid illustrations of the insects in both their alive and dead states. Certified by esteemed analytical chemists Drs. Hassall and Clayton, this product assured consumers that it was safe for children and pet animals, while being a certain death for the targeted pests. The use of the term "food" in the product name may seem unusual to modern audiences, but it reflects the understanding of the time that insects were attracted to specific substances. The advertisement's design is reminiscent of the Victorian era, with its ornate typography and bold illustrations. The use of the phrase "not a POISON to Children or Pet Animals" would have been a significant selling point for concerned homeowners, as the fear of accidental poisoning was a common concern during this time. Despite the advancements in pest control methods, this advertisement offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and the methods used to combat common household pests over a century ago.
