moth they often eat dry animal
matter.
1t Is evident that the control
of the pestiferous insects de-
scribed in this and the two pre-
ceding articles Is Of the utmost
Importance.
The first step is to eliminate
breeding spots such as open gar
bage pals, and decayed vege-
table or animal matter.
Stagnant pools, uncovered rain
barrels and cutters are prolific
sources of mosquitoes. Pools
that cannot be drained or filled
should be covered with crude oil,
especially in early spring and
through the summer.
In the house no food should
be. split or exposed. If the prem
ises are absolutely clean and no
food is left or dropped about,
the pests will have nothing to
feed on.
