THE MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL
The fly is often said to be the most dangerous animal in the world. By carrying disease germs it causes much sickness and many deaths. Attached to the fly’s feet are pads which enable a fly to cling to a windowpane or walk on the ceiling. Disease germs and unclean matter are often carried on these pads.
Flies hatch and feed in unclean places, such as manure piles. They also feed in outdoor toilets, in open garbage cans, and on decaying matter of all kinds.
The barn and horse stable with their usual manure piles are the most common of the fly’s breeding places. As garages have taken the place of stables, there are fewer flies. But it is possible to keep a barn or stable clean and take care of the manure so that it will not become a breeding place for flies.
Everything possible should be done to keep flies out of the house. If any do get in, they should be killed. But it is most important that man do away with flies by having clean surroundings and by getting rid of the piaces where flies hatch and feed.
