Pyrethrum and sulphur may be mixed with the dust in such boxes and render it more deadly to the insects. The floor of the poultry-house or pigeon-cote should be thoroughly scraped, and covered with fresh sand or road dust. The roosts and all loose pieces of wood should be removed and then the whole inside and also the parts which have been removed should be well wetted by spraying with a solution made by dissolving 6 ounces of crude carbolic acid to the gallon of water. This should be mixed with the water at nearly the boiling point as carbolic acid does not readily mix with cold water.
