To do the job yourself use a wasp bomb aerosol and perform the job after dusk without a flashlight — to avoid attracting the angry wasps, ttawa promotes solar water heating OFFICIALS of Energy, Mines and Resources have signed agreements with Canadian manufacturers of solar equipment to support the cost of installing solar domestic hot water systems across Canada through contribution payments of up to $1,100. Consumers, homeowners and commercial enterprises can pur- chase an accepted solar hot water system directly from these com- panies or from their dealers. The federal government sup- ports the demonstration of solar technology in order to encourage Canadians to seriously consider this alternative, renewable energy source. Summer Demo Sale!
