72 N. J. Mosquito Extermination Association 



Instead of employing a man to do inspection and another to oil, 

 I combined the work and had the inspector do the oiling. I am very 

 much in favor of team work; two inspectors work together better 

 than one alone. This is the method, i automobile, 2 men, i barrel 

 of oil, 2 small oil tanks and pumps, hose, and spraying nozzles 

 iattached. 



Inspections are made and when breeding is found, the violation is 

 oiled, and the larvae killed immediately. 



Following is the cost of operations from April to September 30th :

One big factor of our success is our motor transportation. We 

 have a fully equipped repair shop and one expert machinist who 

 keeps the cars and boats in perfect running order. 



Unquestionably, motor transportation has given Nassau County 

 mosquito extermination. 



President Rider : This report was very gratifying. As the 

 result of work in Nassau County, if all the counties that are affect- 

 » ed with mosquitoes would do as effective work we would soon learn 

 to appreciate the absence of mosquitoes.
