back again mate? As an old fella used to tell me, if you can remember the good ole days - then you weren't there Did they really put DDT in the wallpaper? And he also used to say, if you can't spell you look like a dickhead: edited for spelling
Not sure about the wall paper but they definitely mixed it with the paint. It was magic. We used to find dead flies everywhere and the paint kept killing flies for years. No need for Mortein.
My parents bought a old house in the early 60s in Toowoomba and painted all the interior walls with this paint. It really works; you would have to sweep up all these dead flies every day. Not sure what else it killed but the daily fly kills was spectacular.
