Show Are Urged To Destroy Black Widow Spiders ..Because of the rapid spread of the dreaded black widow spider into almost al-most every section of Utah, precaution precau-tion should be taken to destroy their nests where the young are propagated propagat-ed in whatever place black widows are found. Each of the egg balls will hatch a quantity of from 200 to 500 young spiders. Remember that wherever you find a black widow spider, she is ically a widow, having already devoured de-voured ! er husband and is now. the potential mother of 500 to 1000 yornsc- sj iders. Cellar approaches and the crevices of the cellar proper seem to be their choice habitation. In fumigating or using any poison of any kind it is wise to remove all stored foods of any kind, even canned fruit, as the fumigation penetrates the rubbers surrounding, the caps and may cause the fruit to become slightly tainted with the odor, but it is not poisonous. Flytox and similar insect destroying destroy-ing agents will in all probability kill all insects in the cellar if sprayed plentifully and the cellar closed tightly for several hours. Two or three sprayings should kilj all the insects in your cellar and not in anyway any-way contaminate the stored foods. |
