Thorough coverage with the spray 

 is essential. Repeated treatments 

 may be necessary. 



A small power sprayer is the 

 most effective device for applying 

 sprays. You may use a garden- 

 type compressed-air sprayer; but if 

 you are applying a wettable- 

 powder spray, shake the sprayer 

 often to keep the powder in sus- 

 pension in the spray mixture. 



Creosote oil, anthracene oils (also 

 known as carbolineums) and crude 

 oil are also effective against fowl 

 ticks when sprayed into their hiding 

 places. 



Sanitation and Management 

 Practices 



Use roosts and nests of the knock- 

 down type for easier cleaning and 

 spraying. 



Eliminate hiding places of ticks 

 by removing loose boards and rub- 

 bish. 



Do not permit fowls to roost in 

 trees, livestock sheds, and similar 



unsuitable places. Provide a mod- 

 ern, well-ventilated poultry house 

 and keep it clean. 



PRECAUTIONS 



Insecticides used improperly may 

 be injurious to man and animals. 

 Use them only when needed and 

 handle them with care. Do not 

 use insecticides in greater strengths 

 than those recommended. Follow 

 the directions and heed all precau- 

 tions on the labels. 



Keep insecticides in closed, well- 

 labeled containers in a dry place. 

 Store them where they will not 

 contaminate food or feed, and where 

 children, poultry, and animals can- 

 not reach them. 



When handling an insecticide, 

 wear clean, dry clothing. Wear 

 protective clothing and equipment 

 if specified on the container label. 



Avoid repeated or prolonged con- 

 tact of insecticide with your skin. 

 Avoid prolonged inhalation of in- 

 secticide dusts or mists. 



Avoid spilling insecticide concen- 

 trate on your skin, and keep it out
