TWENTY-EIGHT REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 2? 



Bran 12 lbs. 



Sodium fluosilicate 1 lb. 



Fish oil 1 qt. 



The dry materials should be thoroughly mixed together and the 

 fish oil added and mixed in. No water is necessary. Sodium fluor- 

 ide, barium fluosilicate, or paris green may be substituted for the 

 sodium fluosilicate, but they are not so satisfactory. The bait 

 should be scattered about fences, piles of boards, wood piles, trees, 

 and other places where the earwigs may hide. It should be kept 

 away from children. Chickens and other birds would have to eat 

 a great deal of it to be injured.
