I am getting back into entomology after several years away. At one time I
was a 4H leader in their entomology program.
All of the books that I have; when explaining how to build killing jars,
recomend cyanide, but say that ethyl acetate is an acceptable, though
inferior substitute. I have always used ethyl acetate and found it to be
fairly slow.
I have a few questions:
1. Does anyone actualy use cyanide?
2. Is that much better than EA?
3. Is it available for purchase?
4. Where is it available?
5. Should I be using it instead of EA?
Thanks in advance, any help is always appreciated.
