All the furniture and effects of prospective Council
house tenants are examined by the Sanitary Inspectors
when application for transfer is being considered.
The policy of the Council is usually not to accept tenants
whose present houses are verminous. On occasions
when it has been necessary that applicants whose
furniture is verminous should be allocated a Council
house, the contents of their houses have been treated
with a preparation before removal. All disinfestation
is carried out by employees of the Local Authority.
On all occasions when visits are paid by Sanitary
Inspectors to houses, the importance of the eradication
of the bed bug is impressed upon the occupiers.
