A Good Place to Raise Clearfield Firm to Conduct Spraying Program Here Lehi city officials have engaged a professional company, the Custom Spraying Service with headquarters in Clearfield, to conduct insect spray this year's city-wid- e ing program. Ed Laub, president of the company, conferred with City Coun-cllmTuesday morning to work out preliminary details. Grounds of the Memorial Building were sprayed by the company to demonstrate the effectiveness of the registered spray material the company uses. Since the preparation kills all types of insects, including those which prey on plants and lawns and rob them of chlorophyl, Mr. Laub invites residents to inspect the grounds of the civic building and see if the foliage there does not become green. He estimates that three or four days are required to get all the insects. The chemicals used by the comc, and the formpany are ula has been registered with the state chemist and State Department of Agriculture, under which the company holds an unrestricted license for all types of spraying work. They are also licensed in Idaho, and through agreement are now doing some work in the states of Colorado and Nevada. Parents of small children and pet owners can be assured that the spray will not harm or affect them in any way. The preparation is effective against flies, mosquitoes, ants, night crawlers, grasshoppers, earwigs and air other insect pests. The company absolutely guarantees one application to be ef fective for a full season, and Mr. Laub declares that 40 per cent of their business is holding over into the second year. Standard business rates are charged according to the amount of sprayable yard served. The rate is $3.50 per 1000 square feet. The workmen measure the yard (or allow the resident to measure it), deducting the area covered by the house, garage, or other areas not requiring spraying. Although their current work in Lehi will be primarily with insecticides, Mr. Laub declares that his company handles all types of spraying, including herbicides. For serlawns they have a three-wa- y vice, including a, spray for bugs and existing broadleaf plants, then a follow-u- p spray which prevents any annual weed seeds from germinating the second year. This treatment is guaranteed for two years, although it has been effective up to three and four years. The company also handles a liquid fertilizer which has no residue or stench.
