How to Kill Mosquitoes From the Public Health Journal
The article explains that a mosquito develops from a speck resembling cholera bacteria to maturity in about two and a half hours. It claims permanganate of potassium can instantly kill the insect in all stages, with a solution of one part chemical to 1,500 parts water hindering larvae development in marshes, and a small amount oxidizing a ten acre swamp while keeping it free of organic matter for thirty days at a cost of 25 cents. It suggests statewide mosquito control is possible with careful treatment.
