FIGHTING HOUSEHOLD PESTS

Moths dislike sunshine, cool air
and strong smells. And these facts
afford a guide to their control. Car
ments and articles which contain
wool must be thoroughly cleansed,
aired and disinfected to the nth de-
gree. That is why Mrs. Careful
Housewife dips her furs into gaso-
line, lets them wave gaily on the line
in the breeze, and invests in moth
balls, tar preparations and stock
of garment bags. Nowadays we do
not pile winter garments into deep,
box to wrinkle and become OdOrous
during the summer. Instead we pur-
chase garment bags, pleasingly rem
iniscent of pine woods, each fitted
with garment hanger. In these ev-
cry size of coat, suit or dress may
be hung without any risk of wrink-
ling or creasing. The best bags have
airproof closings. A clear label past
ed on the outside should indicate the
contents, for quick and easy finding.
The "carpet-beerle," which is often
found in the New England and Mid
die Western States, is black with
spotted scales and having red
stripe down it's back. She lays an egg
from which emerges, in the spring or
later, an active brown larva which
does a great deal of damage. 1t is
about one-half inch long and is sur
rounded by brown bristly hairs all
over the body. Generally these eggs
are laid in crevice of the floor anC
the larva comes forth to enjoy the
bright colors and pleasing flavor o.
wool carpets and rugs.
The house-fly could occupy pag'
or book. Of all the insects in the en-
tire outline, the hOuse-fly is the mos
loathsome and the one to be mos
stunned. He feeds on garbage, man
ure, the privy-and then trails hi
padded and hairy paws over tn
meat, the milk or the baby's bottle
if we let him. The fly is a scavenge1
but an unwelcome one that the hOus
wife should avoid by such devices a
screens, powders, traps and stick
paper.
