More model informationThis spray can was used to help slow the spread of malaria, a life-threatening disease carried by mosquitoes. The can contained water with particles of a green powder suspended in it. The powder, called Paris green, was very successful at killing mosquito larvae. This spray can was made during World War I (1914-1918), and was probably used by British soldiers.
