The Mosquitoes of New Jersey

If within a distance of 2.5 miles of the group there exist enormous 

 areas of polluted stagnant water, an attempt to afford protection 

 without considering these intensive and extensive breeding places is 

 certain to be followed by failure unless some great natural barrier 

 such as a mountain range, possibly wide open water or large dense 

 population, is situated between.

Survey and Mapping of Permanent Breeding Places 



Once the size of the area has been determined it should be mapped 

 and the permanent breeding places set down on the map. A report 

 should be prepared setting forth the nature of this area with especial 

 regard to the permanent breeding places, the method of permanently 

 eliminating them and the estimated cost of the operation. 



Creation of Organization to Carrv Out Practical Work 



Provision must then be made for an organization to examine the 

 entire territory throughout the mosquito season at about ten-day in- 

 tervals for mosquito breeding. Provision must be made for an or- 

 ganization to treat all breeding places found.
