AS these pests are rap diy spreading

According TO the various writers
the principal spread takes place
through the flight of the moths lus'
after they eTlSrge Iro,n the p1so'

vessel is in constant use. They cling
SO closely to the bottom that unless
the jars are rinsod and tipped up so
as to empty them completely, which
is not usually done, nearly all of the
larvae will remain in the jars On
account of this habit they are not
easily disposed of by pouring out the
contents of a barrel.
The larvae occur most frequently in
clear water in rain water barrels or
in drinking water receptacleS III
houses. The water in SUCH recepta cleS
contains more or less animal matter
