Escherichia coll^. Streptococcus hemolytloue (oyler strain)^, S. h. epldemlcuB^ and ^ vlrldans,^ The compound was shown to have slight anthelmintic activity against Haemonohus contortuB.^ The Insectlcldal properties of phenoxathiln have attracted the greatest attention. In one series of tests^ phenoxathiln gave high kills of American cockroach, cabbage aphid, diamond-back moth, European corn borer, Hawaiian beet webworm and termite.
