At CONTROL OF THE HOUSE FLY AND RELATED FLIES 163 all places where flies congregate, as markets, eating places, packinghouses, etc., the liberal use of good fly traps is a very good measure. Asbaits for such traps the following suggestions have been made. 1. ISIilk. 2. Overripe or fermenting bananas, crushed and placed in the bait pan. 3.
