Anybody know what this is?

Very crude bottle that looks like an ink of some kind to me. Need some help in identifying it.
It is 2-3/4 inches high, cylindrical in shape, and has a 2" diameter base.
Is aqua and very crude. It has embossed on the bottom COSTAR. Please see photo and let me know if you can ID it.
Thanks very much,
Dave

Didn't look like one to me either Andy, that's why I always do a search on this site first instead of google because I figure if it's been found before we have discussed it here on ABN...[]

Thanks everyone.....very interesting discussion. You guys are tops!! Google could sure learn something from you all.
I thought it was an ink because when I Googled it, there is a company with this name who sells ink cartridges so thought it might be the same company which had survived all these years.
I will now say it is a poison for vermin and rats....maybe specifically for bed bugs.
Best regards,
Dave
