Two maintenance treatments were carried out during the year, with the following results:
| Type of Take | First Treatment | Second Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Poison take | 57 | 44 |
| No Poison take | 319 | 252 |
| Total number of manholes baited | 376 | 296 |
The results of the poison takes in each treatment represent
approximately 15% of the total number of manholes baited. This
figure is a very satisfactorily low percentage.
