Health Unit Asks Control Of Mosquitoes Mosquitoes can be a vexing and sometimes a serious problem. In the home, about the yard, and in public parks, they can interfere with man's chores and spoil his enjoyment of leisure time. Some species of mosquitoes may transmit diseases such as malaria to man, encephalitis to man and horses, and heartworms to dogs. The heavy mosquito population in McHenry county last summer and the wet conditions this spring are ideal for development of billions of mosquitoes this summer. Unless something is done to interfere with the development of this insect, there will be much discomfort and possibly some health hazards to man and anim&ls. * If mosquitoes are a problem, first thing to do is to find and eliminate their breeding places. Mosquitoes cannot hatch unless they are in water. Look for standing water on the premises; eliminate it if possible and practical. Follow these steps: Remove unneeded, tem­ porary water containers. Flatten or dispose of tin cans. Place discarded bicycle and automobile tires in places where water cannot get into them. Fill tree holes with concrete. See that cisterns, septic' tanks, rain barrels and tubs in which water is stored are tightly covered. Empty and thoroughly wash birdbaths at least once a week. Clean out rain gutters. Examine flat roofs after rains; be sure no water remains on them. Drain or fill in stagnant pools and swampy places. If pools cannot be drained or filled in, remove debris and floating vegetation. If there is standing water on the premises, and it cannot be eliminated, examine it at least once a week to find out whether larvae (wigglers) are present. Dip out some water with a white enamel pan or cup because wigglers can be seen easily against a white background. If larvae is found, a small top feeding minnow which will eat about 200 wigglers a day could possibly be used to stock the pond. For information about this minnow, contact the McHenry County Department of Health. Man made farm ponds or other larger bodies of water on agricultural land should have steep, clean shorelines with little or no vegetation to provide protection for mosquito larvae and so the wigglers are exposed to wave action or fish. Borrow pits along highways should be constructed so thiat they are either self draining to prevent production of the temporary pool mosquito or deep enough so that they will hold at least two feet of water with steep, clean shorelines to minimize breeding of per­ manent water mosquitoes. All of the above recom­ mendations are based on the mosquito breeding nabits. During spring, summer and fall, female mosquitoes lay their eggs on water or in places that will later become flooded. They are laid in batches of 50 to 200 and several batches may be laid by one female. Blood­ sucking females usually require a blood meal before producing eggs. In warm weather, the eggs of most species hatch in 2 or 3 days. The eggs of some species require a drying period; they may remain dormant for many months, then hatch within minutes after being flooded by spring or summer rain. The larvae (wigglers) that hatch from the eggs feed mainly on bits of organic matter in the water. These wigglers change to pupae (tumblers) in about a week and these in turn transform into adults in about 2 days. In another day or two the female adults are ready to bite; male mosquitoes do not bite. If each person would do his utmost to interfere with mosquito development by eliminating all standing water, Directory Of Campgrounds Is *Available The 1973 "Directory of Illinois Campgrounds" is now available to the public through the Illinois Department of Business and Economic Development, Division of Tourism. The directory is a county breakdown of public and p r i v a t e c a m p g r o u n d s throughout the state. Listings and information about the campgrounds are the result of questionnaires returned by campground managers and owners. The booklet lists the camping area; address and telephone number. Other pertinent in­ formation in the guide are number of campsites, elec­ tricity, types of toilets, showers, boat rentals, fishing, swimming, historic sites, playgrounds and other general information about the cam­ pground. The campground directory also contains various Illinois laws about boating, driving, hunting and fishing. Free copies of the directory may be obtained by writing to the Illinois Department of Business and Economic Development, Division of Tourism, 22 S. College St., Springfield, 111. 62706. Former Local Student Teacher Wins Scholarship Marilyn J. Peterson, Route 1, Helenville, has been granted the Hugo E. Lahti scholarship award at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Miss Peterson did her student teaching as an intern in the Johnsburg Middle school. The annual $100 cash award to an outstanding secondary science education student was established by Mrs. Maxine Lahti in memory of her husband, a chemistry teacher at University of Wisconsin- Whitewater from 1948 until his death in 1969. the number of adults can be greatly reduced. If the adult mosquito population is reduced it should mean less irritation, less possibility of disease transmission and less need for use of insecticides. The McHenry County Department of Health has the au thor i ty to cause aba tement of artificially created mosquito breeding places as public nuisances. Property owners will be notified of the existence of these nuisances. Failure to cause abatement of these nuisances by responsible property owners can lead to legal action against these property owners. *o»©«?»1, woeio o> ADULTS and CHILDREN , (No Age Limit) HOURS: 10-8 Daily or 10-5 H Store Hours 11-4 Sunday Lunch 12-1 & 5-6 Beautiful Full Color Poses Will Be Shown For Your Selection • One Special Per Subject Two Per Family • Adults-Children-Babies • Additional Subjects SI .00 Each • Groups A Costumes Additional PARENT MUST SELECT SPECIAL MAY 16 thru 20 [HORNSBY<\ V --i-cj11 rrty (cnf"f s --J.
