Disinfestation of Sewers
A scheme for the disinfestation of sewers was submitted
to the Ministry of Pood (Infestation Control), together with
an application for additional manpower.
In August, ten Italian collaborators were allocated for
12 weeks to assist in this work, and it is worthy of note
that owing to the manner in which these men co-operated with
Council employees we were able to dispense with their services
a week ahead of schedule.
The scheme consisted of dividing the district into 10
areas with well defined boundaries; two Italians and one
Council employee operating In each area.
Manholes were prebaited on four successive days, poison
bait being laid on the fifth day, followed by an inspection
for recording poison takes.
A second treatment was carried out within one month of
the initial treatment and on similar lines, except that the
bait base and poison were changed from Rusk and Zinc Phosphide
to Bread and Barium Carbonate.
