Cockroaches or water bugs come where there Is dampness, bits of food, {fish of all kinds. Sprinkling borax, pyrethram, or best of all sodium fluoride freely and persistently day after day wherever cockroaches appear seems to be a fairly successful method of extermination. In spite Of all precautions you will sometimes find- Weevils or worms In apparently sound cartons of cereal, in the flour bin, or on dried fruits or nuts. These pests come from minute eggs deposited probably before the package was sealed or the product entered your house. Destroy all badly Infested food materials promptly, and any paper containers. Wash and scald your permanent containers before you use them again. However objectionable the idea of such Insects getting Into food, a chance meal worm or weevil in the cereal is cause for far less concern than a fly lighting on food, for the worm has spent its entire life In the package, while the fly Is covered with filth picked up In Its promiscuous visits. Flies, so far as possible, should be kept out of the house by screens. If they do get In, every'effort should be made to drive them ont or kill them. Use fly-traps, fly paper, Insect powder, and poison. Above all, take steps to eliminate all possible breeding places for flies near your home, and get your neighbors to co-operate. Fleas and DedDugs reea on numaii blood. The former sometimes become a real nuisance, if a room becomes Infested with them. You will have to take the carpet or rugs out-of-doors and clean them, and also spray with benzine or gasoline.

Carpet beetles are common and their grubs or larvae feed on foods similar to those preferred by the larvae of the clothes moths?woolens and furs. They are found more often under tacked-down carpets, and, once established, are difficult to get rid of. Use rugs and bare floors*, which are less liable to Infestation. If you find these pests, take up the carpets, clean them thoroughly out-of-doors, spray them with gasoline or benzine, and, If possible, air them and sun them. Treat the room Itself as in the case ! of flea infestation. Fill all cracks ' with a crack filler before the carpet is put back. An insect pest that does considerable damage In the attic to books, paper, and stored clothing, is the sllverflsh. These'insects are attracted by starch in bindings and in garments. Clothes moths are partial to woolens, furs and other clothing on which to lay their eggs so that the larvae when hatched will have suitable food. All cold weather garments when put away for the season should be thoroughiy cleaned, beaten, brushed and sunned, and then shut up In tight boxes or chests with such repellents as naphthalene flakes or paradichlorobenzine. Other methods of protecting clothing and furnishings from moths are described In Farmers' Bulletin 1353. The centipede, although unpleasant to look at, is beneficial because it ; preys on other household Insects. If ; its presence is annoying It may be controlled by using insect powders sprinkled about.
