FIGHTING INSECT PESTS i8g any room or house can be kept free from flies, or nearly so, by screens; but neighborhood and community effort toward abolishing the breeding places is by far the most effective means of fighting the deadly housefly. To fight mosquitoes the same advice applies; destroy the breeding places. Mosquitoes breed in puddles and ponds;. Fig. 94. Eggs, larvse and pupse of mosquitoes, Theobaldia incidens. (Photograph by R. W. Doane.) in open barrels and tins of water; in marshes and lily-ponds; in fresh or slightly salt water anywhere that is not flowing. Mosquitoes mostly do not fly far; if the pests are abundant in or about a house look for a near-by breeding place. If this is a small puddle or pond that cannot be readily drained pour kerosene on its surface. The oil will spread out forming a thin coating over the water that will prove fatal to winged mosquitoes coming to lay their eggs, and to larvae (wrigglers) coming up to the surface to breathe, as well as to the pupas.
