liSOUITO CONTROL
DECLARED ATTAINED
BY SIMPLE MEANS
INEXPENSIVE EFFORT ADVISED
TO PREVENT POSISBLE EC
ONOMIC LOSS FROM PEST
Swatting mosquitoes is not the
most enjoyable passtime in the
world, nor is a mosquito concert
at night the most enchanting
music, yet we continue to indulge
in this sort of entertainment. Is
n’t it surprising how much misery
we will endure when by well dir
ected effort nd a moderate out
lay of money we might be able
to fully enjoy our gardens and
terraces and sleep without the
odor of a citronnella or the op
pressiveness of a mosquito bar?
I do not want to lead you to
think that all mosquito control
problems are simple and inexpen
sive, but a large part of the an.
noyance caused by these pests
can be avoided by such simple
means.
Mosquitoes are not only annoy
ing but many of them are dan
gerous as they are sole carriers of
such diseases as malaria, yellow
fever, dengue or breakbone fever,
and the disease called filariasiasis,
caused by a miniature worm.
EFFECT ON COMMUNITY
The presence of great plagues of
mosquitoes and of malaria have
a far-reaching economic effect on
a community; development is re
tarded, agriculture and industrial
output is reduced and land values
are lowered, so you can see that
there are abundant reasons for
i individual, community, State and
even national action against these
little foes.
To fight intelligently we must
know something about the enemy
iand its methods. There are many
| different kinds of mosquitoes ahd
| their habits are vastly different.
| In one important way, however,
I they are all alike, that is, they
; all have their “wiggle-tail” stage
in water. This is the stage in
, which we can fight them most
effectually.
i In the absence of water suitable
for “wiggle tails” to develop in we
have no mosquitoes, or if we ap
ply oil to the water the “wiggle
| tails” are destroyed.
The house mosquitoes cause
| much annoyance in all parts of
the country. Fortunately their
breeding is very easily prevented.
; These mosquitoes breed in close
proximity to homes in any vessel
[which will hold water for 10 days.
1 Rain barrels and cisterns should
j be screened if they are to be used.
Cesspools, old wells, tin cans, and
j defective eave troughs may pro
duce an almost increditable num
'ber of these pestiferous insects.
POOLS WOULD BE DRAINED
In parks and rural districts,
woodland and roadside pools
must be drained or oiled if they
the not kept free from debris and
stocked with top minnows. Open
lakes or ponds with clean straight
banks are seldom important mos
quito breeding places for the wave
action and presence of fish us
ualy prevent breeding. Much at
tention has been directed to the

use of paris green applied with
airplanes or dust blowers to ponds
and swamp areas. This treatment
is most effective against malaria
mosquitos, the wrigglers of which
take their food from the surface
of the water. The paris green is
mixed with some fine dust, one
pound paris green to 10 pounds
dust and applied at the rate of
four to 10 pounds per acre. The
floating particles of poison are
taken in by the wrigglers but there
is not enough poison on the water
to injure fish or livestock.
For oiling, kerosene is very com
monly used but other distillate oils
which will spread equally as well
will do the work. Under still
conditions one ounce of oil will
cover 15 square feet of surface.
The oil may be thrown over the
pools with a dipper, but it is bet
ter to use a sprayer to distribute
it. Usually the oil must be applied
every two weeks to prevent all
breeding.
Drainage of breeding places has
the distinct advantage of more
permanently eliminating breeding
places, although the initial cost
is often considerable. If extensive
mosquito breeding areas have to
be dealth with, an engineer is nec
essary and community action is
often required. This is particularly
true with the sale of marsh areas
where certain mosquitoes which
breed in salt or brackish areas
are concerned.
These salt marsh mosquitoes can
fly several miles, hence purely lo
cal drainage work cannot be relied
upon to give compete relief if j
other marh areas are near.

tomology and published in the U.
