Their annoyances a do not disappear with the end of summer a number of Domestic insects which Are cot Only annoying but dangerous Are More in evidence in the Winter than in the summer the bedbug beads the list of them. In the modern Home humiliation and horror follow the discovery of a bedbug but if the standards cleanliness Are lowered Only a very Little these appear. In hospitals and Are. A con Stant menace in order to Cope with them it is important to understand the life history. The bedbug is primarily a parasite of irian but it does feed on other warm blooded animals such As mice chickens or Birds. Bed bugs Are brought into the House either by mice or men As a general Rule. Because their bodies Are Flat they can hide in microscopic Crevi Ces under loosened wallpaper in the joints of wooden bedsteads in folds in mattresses and bedding and even in clothing. The eggs Are even More easy to conceal. The eggs Are White when first Laid and quickly change to1 Yel Low. The female produces two or three eggs a Day until she lays about 500. The Young reach Matur Ity 30 Days after being hatched but if they encounter unfavourable food conditions this period May be prolonged consider ably. They Are usually nocturnal in habit but they do not necessarily Stop their predatory habits in daytime. They Are Good stayers and if a House or cottage becomes infested it is just too bad. They have been known to exist a year without food. The bedbug does not bite but saws his Way through your skin with an extremely efficient lower jaw. After he is through the skin he injects a secretion into the wound which prevents the blood from clotting and then he sucks. Some people do not react to the bedbug bite to others it is very irritating. To get rid of bedbugs fumigation by Sulphur is the most practical Way. It destroys the eggs and reaches All hiding places. Before and after fumigation the Walls and ceilings should be repaired so that no cracks appear. Gasoline and kerosene Are efficient in cleaning Beds. Another Winter insect is the cock Roach. It May become a menace to health by crawling Over food and contaminating it practically every thing is food to the cockroach Al though they prefer that which is found around kitchens. They can be destroyed with a cheap White powder known As sodium fluoride which is harmless to Man and Ani Mals. This is deadly to insects by Contact and by ingestion. Fleas and lice Are also Winter visitors. The rules that apply to bedbugs apply to fleas in that any lowering of the standards of House hold cleanliness invites them. They Are usually transmitted from per son to children being especially liable to infestation by the head Louse through the indiscriminate wearing of other children s Caps when in the Scalp lice can be destroyed by a shampoo of equal parts of kerosene and vinegar.
