Homemade fly spray used at Brandon Experimental Farm
A eight year old preparation at the Experimental Farm Brandon uses half a pound of pyrethrum powder per gallon of kerosene. The mixture is shaken for three to four hours, settled, then poured off as a clear lemon liquid. Stored corked, it kills flies in buildings when doors and windows are closed during spraying. Dead flies should be swept up and burned.
