ants go out

[Benjamin Treuhaft]

The Cuban Institute of Music in Havana requests I include the following
item with my shipment of pianos, parts and tools:  "a compressor to
make void and to inject quimical substances to kill the comegen (he
means carpenter ants I think).  We know that there are modern and cheap
technicals in use at the museums and I think we can adapt these
equipments to fumigate uprights and grand pianos with nylon cartouches
to wrap them."
     Does anyone grok this?
