A PLAN TO BEAT THE m m Effective control of flies depends on: ■ GOOD GENERAL SANITATION to check fly-breeding. Proper rubbish collection and disposal. Sanitary and flyproof privies in rural areas. Proper storage and disposal of manure. NOTE : Compost heaps and manure kept in towns should be sprayed With a solution of powdered borax at the rate of 11 oz. to each 8 bushels of manure. Dissolve the borax in 2to 10 gallons of water, or, Merton’s Sheep Dip, strength 1 in 80, may be used. 2 EXCLUSION OF FLIES by screening and keeping all food and food utensils covered from flies. £ DESTRUCTION OF FLIES by * (a) Traps, fly poisons, swatters. (b) Sprays (which usually contain Pyrethrum) quickly knock over flies, and D.D.T. may be added to kill them. (c) Residual sprays, such as D.D.T. applied to surfaces where flies rest or crawl, are excellent. An oil solutioii.of D.D.T. should contain approximately 5 per cent, of D.D.T. for residual spraying. One application might be effective for the entire season, certainly for several weeks to several months. Best places to spray or smear with the D.D.T. 5 per cent, solution are: hanging light fixtures and drop cords; edges and arches of doors; window frames and sills and other favourite haunts of the fly. Use it on the rubbish tin, too. ISSUED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH Keep this announcement for future reference
