FLYOSAN
TICKS
These loathsome pests attack, not only animals, but humans as well, and are classed as disease- carrying insects.
Ticks belong to the family IXODIDAL, and the diseases which they transmit are known as IXODIASIS. Quite a number of different species are known to attack men.
Ticks or wood lice, are not true Insects, but belong to the Acarines, which include the mites, and are closely allied to Spiders and Itchmites (Scabies).
