PREVENTION OF DAMAGE BY PESTS ACT, 1949.
During the year a Rodent Investigating Officer and four
operators were engaged on control of rat infestation at dwellinghouses
and other premises and of the sewers in the Borough.
The Council provides this service to the occupiers of all dwellinghouses
free of charge; industrial and business premises are dealt
with at the request of the proprietors who pay the full cost of any
disinfestation undertaken at their premises.
1,090 premises were inspected during the year for rat and mice
infestation, and of these 462 were found to be affected.
