Summary "The House Fly and How to Suppress It" by L. O. Howard and F. C. Bishopp is a scientific publication produced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in the early 20th century. This bulletin addresses the pressing issue of house flies, detailing their breeding habits, life cycle, and the dangers they pose as carriers of disease. It serves as a guide to methods for suppressing and controlling fly populations, emphasizing the importance of sanitation and proper waste management. The book begins by discussing the various species of flies commonly found in homes, particularly the true house fly, its breeding preferences, and its role in spreading diseases such as typhoid and cholera. It provides practical advice on excluding flies from living spaces using screens, traps, and poisons. Furthermore, it outlines strategies for preventing fly breeding, particularly through effective manure disposal and community efforts to maintain cleanliness. Overall, the authors emphasize that controlling house flies is essential for public health, especially in densely populated areas, and advocate for organized educational campaigns to promote awareness of the issue.
