Spring is good time to check cars The coming of spring is a good time for motorists to have their cars conditioned, reminds the Chicago Motor Club-AAA. The motor club offers these suggestions to help get the spring car care job done: — Drain the anti-freeze from the radiator and reverse flush the water through the cooling system. — Have the oil changed and a new oil filter installed. — Check the car’s transmission and differential. These are among the car's vital organs. — Clean or replace the car’s spark plugs Faulty plugs, or these laden with carbon waste gas. make starting difficult and cause inefficient operation of your car. — Check battery for recharge or replacement. Winter driving takes a heavy toll on batteries because of extended night chiving and heavier operation of electrical accessories — Check the fluid in the master brake cylinder A car shouldn't be moved if the brakes aren't reliable. — Inspect the car’s tires for cuts, breaks or bruises Your safety and that of your passengers depends greatly on the condition of those tires Proper rotation of the prolongs wear. X. — Since the paint/and chrome on your car have taken a heavy beating this winter, include a wash and polish job on your list of spring conditioning items. » Baumgardts are new brokers Joe and Barbara Todd of Todd Realty.

Cluster fly time in Indiana homes

WEST LAFAYETTE — Warm spring days often bring the cluster fly out of hiding. An invader of houses an 6 other buildings in the fall, this large, noisy fly sometimes appears mysteriously in the winter, then disappears only to re-appear later. Attracted to light, the cluster fly usually buzzes lamps in the evenings and windows during the daytime, occasionally falling on its back where it buzzes noisily until death. “Cluster flies start looking for a home in the autumn when temperatures drop below the 50’s,” explains John O. Sillings, Purdue university extension entomologist. “They enter the house through any available opening and congregate in large numbers in attics, wall voids and similar places.’’ They often resume activity whenever the sun or furnace warms the temperature of their hiding place into the mid-50’s or above. Once in a room they buzz and zoom around, becoming a general nuisance. The cluster fly is often accompanied by the face fly during its winter stay in the house. The latter fly is a pest of cattle and can become numerous around feed lots and cow herds. Prevention is the best method of control for these pests, says Sillings. Openings which permit flies to enter a dwelling or building should be located and sealed. He suggests the sunlit side of the house be checked during the late afternoon of a fall day. This way flies can be detected entering very slight openings. Troublesome cluster flies and face flies are more to control once in the home. If their resting place can be located, a household spray for flying insects, containing pyrethrum or a similar insecticide, can be used effectively. In attics, storage spaces, and empty rooms where flies occur use resin strips containing DDVP or dichlorvos These strips should not be used in rooms occupied by infants, invalids or the elderly nor in rooms used for food preparation, stresses Sillings. Insecticides should always be used in accordance with the directions on
