Rodent Control.
In accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Agriculture,
Fisheries and Food, statistics on rodent control work carried out by the
Department during the year were submitted to the Ministry. During this
period 3,203 dwellings and other premises were inspected, and 1,330 were
found to be infested with mice or rats. Treatments were carried out by
the Department's Rodent Control staff to 1,088 properties found to be
infested, the charges made for servicing business premises amounting to
£515.

Pests Act, 1949, it has been found possible to clear bombed sites of
refuse which would otherwise act as possible harbourage for rats and
other vermin.
