The Winged Scourge

[lordtiger100]

the oil is lighter than water and it floats and it isn't becoming and omogen liquid

@MrMedal77 The author of Animal Farm was a Marksist. Animal farm was not against communism. It tried to show how communism worked (not very well). It reminded me merely of Animal farm not because of the story but the cartoons.

[dance5lover]

Lol i had to watch this the other day in science

[torerik1234]

And they burrow down trashes?

[torerik1234]

What the heck? Did they scare children back then? Oil in water???

[GamEfreakStunter]

AMERICA.. and country killer.-..-.

[nwiley619]

This reminded me of Animal Farm :(

This is not Disney thinking. This is the arrogant conventional thinking of the 1940s. Modern notions of ecology don't really get going until the 1950s. In the 1940s they are spraying DDT directly onto people. In the 1950s and into the 1960s, brush-clearing workers are getting sprayed with arsenic in North America. Dousing themselves with "harmless" herbicides to cool off in summer. There was still little attention being paid to long-term consequences of expedient short-term solutions.

[Diatonic135]

holy crap!

disney told people to spray their ponds and homes with Arsenic! to poison their water with oil and paris green and to plow the wetlands into the ground!

[Eilz005x]

I thought I was watching "snow white and the seven dwarfs" extras for a second!

[yanoosz]

1. Destroy Weed

2. Oil water or spray chemicals!

3. Destroy pool itself

Isnt it easier to destroy the pool rather than poison it first?

[Blooberry95]

sure...put oil in the water. Itll kill the "wigglers"

but maybe a few thousand other organisms LOL

[l2804l]

oi in the water ... WTF ???

and the they`re wondering about global warming xD

[torerik1234]

we humans know better now than we did that time.

It's important to realize that this video was released in 1943! Lots of things have changed since then--but the basic principles remain the same. Eliminate standing water around your home whenever possible by dumping birdbaths and disposing of those things that may collect water. Keep ponds stocked with fish. And fill in spots that flood regularly with water! Fortunately Malaria is hardly a problem anymore in the U.S.--mostly thanks to messages like these and the programs created in the 40s

[soNervig]

Haha, i couldnt sleep the whole night, because of such a thing, there were 3 in my room last night, i killed 2, the last one is still alive. But now i know what to do, SPRAY OIL ON THE WATER!!

[spartan22222]

spray oil on the water?

[isis1640]

excelent video!!

[than217]

I love that the narrator keeps saying "at a 45 degree angle" to make it sound more scientific. lol

[ilovethereef]

very informative and fun to watch... kids learn much easier and somehow knows how to prevent mosquitoes. thankz

[burningthebeautiful]

i have a broken bathtub in my bathroom and ther we everywer as soon as u opened ther door they wud fly out everywer just breeding in mybathroom i had air freshenerso ishut the door and just sprayed

[burningthebeautiful]

wow.so to prevent ourselves from being sick from malaria,we have to pollute our ecosystem??

[483824723847]

atta boy Dopy! kill'er good and dead! lmao wow go Walt Disney. weird though how we're suppose to fill in ponds and lakes and rivers while also burying Cans? xD

[903harman]

a bunch of those fuckers came into my home! some dumbass left the door open.

[903harman]

i hate mosquitoes they should be wiped out off the earth! what use are they!!! all they do is take and take!

[furiouscurious]

they give as well -

disease, life, misery, bad vibes

[ferhordlingrads]

5:05 = yikes!!!

[vasbrenda]

is more useful if is in spanish

[marcoaikido]

STOP MALARIA!

[than217]

stay tuned next week for when the Malaria carrying mosquitoes join the Communist party.

[Meniska]

Thank you for posting this!

[qwerg]

lol most of it is true. But these days brying cans and dumping oil in the water will just result in dumping and pollution charges.

[starskymusic]

Hi there

Excellent. Is there anywhere i can get this as I teach geography and malaria is one of the topics i cover,

cheers

Funny,!but true!

[gorgeousbabe8787]

thanx for the imformative video...im doing a big research paper on Malaria for my college class, and this wasnt so bad..tnx

[nonew3]

I am taking math classes in college so that I can eventually go for a pre-med biochemistry degree. I want to eventually enter medical school and work toward eradicating malaria. I would love to chat with you about malaria, when I'm not cramming for a trigonometry exam, that is. You can message me if you want.

[gorgeousbabe8787]

ohh wow, well my major is International Business and this was for my biology class...i gave a thumbs up to ur comment below because it was funny lol...good luck on ur exam ;)

[nonew3]

Thank goodness that the Seven Dwarfs are on the task of malaria mosquito control! Mankind is saved! Whew! (wipes sweat off brow)

[gorgeousbabe8787]

lol

ILL A GIVE THE MOSQUITO MALARIA

[drjaucian]

When I was involved in malaria control in West Timor, I also propagated the widespread use of the larva-eating fish, Gambusia, for extensive dissemination in the large bodies of water in the catchment areas. Not only did I personally go to the mountains; I also went to the depths of the region in spreading the fish. The fish not only ate the larvae of the mosquitoes (of all species), the adult fish were also quite nutritious when eaten by the malnourished children.

[puppydog1470]

can't they think of better ways to kill mosquitos? it's just wrong to spray icky pioson just to keep mosquitos out.

[nurseheidi]

While malaria may seem an antiquated disease to US citizens, much of the world is still affected by it. According to this month's National Geographic, half a billion people will be infected and a million will die, most of those deaths being children under 5. Films like this are still important educational tools and while we have better chemicals for safely getting rid of mosquitos the old rules of using bed nets and getting rid of standing water still hold up.

[LaikaCameBack]

Well, you have to remember this was made in WWII, when the diseases we consider obscure (measles, rubella, polio, etc) or fairly harmless (the fu, pneumonia) were a constant worry; a lot of the things that they suggested were very bad ideas, but the basic idea wasn't: keep bugs out. For example, mosquito screens. Back then, that was a novelty, but the average person who walks into a modern house would be surprised that they don't have mosquito screens.

[r8p6]

True enough,but you must admit the part with the oil is going way too far,along with some other of the sugestions

[Gameless]

It's horrible to see how children's propaganda shows children and brings them up to pollute at all costs because of an irrational fear of something like mosquitos. Granted, Malaria is a bad disease, but this is going too far.

[xolito14]

i agree with you,

this only scares people.

[mechpj]

my God!! imma go bury cans, dump oil in ponds, and spray poison all over my home!

[Jen534]

Yuck! I hate mosquitos
