When a fly alights on a sugar bowl, on a piece of cheese, or any other food, it first spits out a drop of moisture to make the food soft. Then while it feeds it usually excretes. All this moisture contains germs, many of them highly dangerous. Also, the sticky pads of the fly’s feet carry germs from the filth they last touched. Imagine the amount of infection ONE FLY can spread in a few minutes. And how they breed! It is estimated that the offspring of one female housefly will in a few weeks number nearly half a million. Kill flies everywhere. Half-hearted measures are useless. Don’t give them a chance to breed. Keep refuse in containers with properly fitting lids. Don’t have rubbish lying around. Use household spray liberally. KEEP ALL FOODSTUFFS COMPLETELY PROTECTED A word to home gardeners: Compost heaps can be prolific fly-breeding grounds unless properly controlled. Here is a recipe for a fly-paper mixture. Mix five parts of castor oil with eight parts of resin. Warm until melted and smear it on glazed paper, which can be burnt after use, and wires, which can be burnt clear and used again. KILL THOSE FLIES! 9A FOR A HEALTHIER NATION
