PREVENTION OF DAMAGE BY PESTS ACT, 1949.
One full time Rodent Operative is employed by the
Department for the treatment of surface infestations, and
the test baiting and maintenance treatment of sewers is
carried out by men under the control of the Borough
Engineer.
No charge is made for treatment carried out at
private dwelling houses, but the occupiers of business
premises are charged for disinfestation work.
Most of the infestations found are of minor character,
and a large proportion of the cases dealt with at private
dwelling houses are connected with the keeping of fowls
and other animals.
