Eiahtina Ii. MOSQUITO Pest.

Mosquitoes usually breed in standing
water. and one good way OF eliminating
them is to eliminate ponds and pools.
No bit of stagnant water is too small
or filthy for these pests to breed and
thrive in, provided only it remains long
enough for these pests to reach full
growth.
Draining or filing in marshy land,
dredging the margins tDf lakes so there
will be no weed growth along the shore,
and introducing small fish in ponds are
among the best methods Of relief.
A film of kerosene oil placed on the
surface of water prevents the wrigglers.

are called. from developing This is an
effective way to exterminate the pest
when it is not possible to drain ponds
and other collections OF standing water.
Rain barrels and cisterns should be
screened.
