'ANTROL' ant killer bottle found... - 7/15/2006 12:43:40 PM    jmfjrs   Posts: 2 Joined: 7/15/2006 Status: offline ...mfg. by BOYLE-MIDWAY INC. L.A. and Cranford, N.J. Seam goes all the way to the top, does not have a cap but looks like it was a 'screw-on' type. After opening the bottle you were to lay it on its flat side. Unable to find much on-line. Any help would be appreciated. James in San Diego. Post #: 1

The ants were supose to take the syrup and die before they got very far. The trap came with a pint jar of Antrol syrup and you refilled it every 20 days or so. It has a triangular hole in the top.

RE: 'ANTROL' ant killer bottle found... - 7/15/2006 6:58:43 PM    jmfjrs   Posts: 2 Joined: 7/15/2006 Status: offline My bottle doesn't have the cap or label on it but I would say the bottles look similar. The ANTROL ANT KILLER wording is in the form of raised lettering on the flat part of the bottle (the backside) that you lay on the ground when opened. How about an approx. date of mfg? The bottom of the bottle has some numbers that kind of looks like: 23 (1) S 1703-B 2CU The number 1 with the '()" is supposed to be a number 1 with a circle around it. Thanks for the quick response and again, any more info would be appreciated. (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 3

My bottle has the earlyer Diamond, Oval and I used from 1924 to 1954. Antrol dates from the late 1930s to the early 1960s. The flat side of my bottle is embssed {raised letters}ANTROL /ANT KILLER /THE A. S. BOYLE COMPANY / LOS ANGELES AND JERSEY CITY / LAY ON THIS SIDE. And by the way, Welcome to the forum.
