Negro Home Demonstration News 1
By MBS, ONNIE S. CHARLTON, Negro Home Demonstration Agent
Yesterday we completed our 4-H
club meetings for May at White
Oak Consolidated School, St. John
and Edenton High Schools.
In meetings we studied a
serious problem under Health and
Sanitation, on “Get Rid of Flies
and Mosquitoes,” that I would like
to discuss today. The County
Agent, J. B. Small, gave a demon
stration on “How To Make A Win
dow Screen” and I a demonstration
on “How To Prevent the Breeding
of Flies and Mosquitoes.” In gen
eral here are points we discussed.
We trust parents will work with |
4-H club members on these.
Three Ways To Control
House Flies
1. Home must be screened. All
windows and all outside doors.
2. Destroy breeding places by
cleaning up all filth. Keep home,
yard, toilet, stables, etc., 'clean.
3. Kill all flies with swatters or
sprays as soon as they get into
the house.
What The 4-H Club Member Can
Do To Prevent The Breeding
Os Mosquitoes:
1. Drain all standing water.
2. Fill depressions in the ground
that hold water.
3. Apply kerosene or No. 2 fuel
oil to collections of ground water
that cannot be eliminated by drain
age, such as stagnant ditches,-day
pits, ponded areas, privy pits and i
hog wallows.
4. Eliminate unnecessary recep
tacles that hold rain water, such
as tin cans, old rubber tires, dis
carded buckets, fruit jars and bot
tles.
5. Keep roof gutters free of
trash, such as tree leaves, and
maintain them in such a manner
that they do not sag and hold wa
ter.
6. Drain watering troughs, bird
baths, flower vases and other un-j
protected water containers once a I
• week. Allow them to dry thorough
ly before refilling. '

7. Keep 16-mesh wire screens
over barrels and other containers
used to save rain water.
8. Mosquito-proof the home by
putting snug-fitting screens and
exhaust fans. Sub-standard homes
with holes in the floors, roofs or
outside walls require additional
mosquito proofing by patching
over such places. Porches * and
chimneys with open fireplaces
should also be screened in areas
where mosquitoes are abundant.
9. Apply residual sprays of DDT
or other approved chemicals to out
buildings, porches and screens. In
homes that are not mosquito-proof
the interiors should also be treat
ed.
