In April, 1956, a baiting and poisoning treatment was carried
out by the Borough Engineer's Department in the Council's soil
sewers. 279 manholes were baited. In 97 of these, complete or
part takes of bait were noted.
In October, 1956, test baiting was carried out by the Borough
Engineer's Department to 203 manholes, representing approximately
11.5 percent. of the total manholes on the Council's soil sewers.
On the results obtained from this test, a baiting and poisoning treatment
followed, during which 293 manholes were baited. Of these,
53 showed complete or part takes of bait.
All work done in the sewers was carried out in accordance with
the recommendations of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries
(Infestation Control Division). An official of the Ministry visited
the Borough on both occasions, and was given facilities for inspecting
the work while in progress. He expressed himself entirely
satisfied with the way in which the work was carried out.
