(b) Mosquitoes ,
During the summer months six inhabitants in the neighbour hood
of Thames View Estate complained of nuisance from gnats and
mosquitoes in the area.
An extensive search was carried out for all possible breeding
grounds. The insects were found to be breeding in water butts, variours
ditches and pools of water on vacant land to the South and East of the
Estate. The larvae in these breeding grounds were destroyed by
spraying.
