City Cleanup Campaign Slated To Boost Pest Control Here
City and county crews plan a joint program targeting mosquitoes and flies, funded by a $6,838 yearly budget with 75 percent county and 25 percent city share. The campaign, tied to an upcoming general cleanup drive starting June 20, aims to reduce pests rather than eradicate them, using fogging, treatment of standing water and pit toilets, and public sanitation measures. J. E. Craven leads the pest control effort, stressing visible actions involve only part of operations while residents must help by eliminating breeding sites where possible.
