combination with synergized pyrethrin, or a 1.0$ DDVP oil solution spray to protect 

 dairy cattle during grazing. Pay particular attention to the legs and undersides 

 when spraying. 



Flies can be controlled around the house by applying baits outside near 

 doors and around kitchen windows. For cook-outs, use a small hand sprayer or pres- 

 surized spray containing pyrethrin or DDVP for quick knockdown of flies and mos- 

 quitoes. 



Sod webworms are reported to be damaging lawns in some areas. Brown areas 

 develop in infested lawns, and brownish worms can be found in tunnels of dried grass 

 in the nap of the lawn in these areas. Webworms can be controlled by spraying the 

 grass with 5 lb. DDT or 2.5 lb. chlordane per acre. Do not water the lawn for 72 

 hours after treatment. Proper fertilization and watering will help speed its re- 

 covery. 



Caution: Before applying insecticides, read the labels carefully, and 

 follow all precautions. This not only will insure personal safety, but will also 

 eliminate insecticide residue hazards.
