DIINFESTATION.
During the year only 4 houses needed to be, and were disinfested
owing to the presence of bed bugs, but in only two of the cases was it
found necessary to treat bedding by steam.
Action was also taken by the Department in 99 cases of infestation
with other pests such as cockroaches, crickets and wasps.
In the majority of cases disinfestation was carried out by spraying
with a proprietary insecticide.
