    The following table shows the detail of work done during the year in disinfesting dwelling-houses, other premises and chattels. The use of sulphur dioxide and preparations containing pyrethrum and derris root was, to a large extent, superseded by the use of D.D.T. in liquid and powder forms, and much greater success in the eradication of vermin has been experienced. Bedding materials found to be verminous have been de-infested in the steam disinfector at the Isolation Hospital. Other furniture found to be verminous has either been left in rooms under sulphur dioxide or, in bad cases, has been treated in hydrogen-cyanide vans by a private firm.
