In the administrative County 13.1 per cent of the total population live more than two persons per room. 78 Bug Infestation of Houses.β€”This problem has received much attention from the Public Health Committee during the year owing to the apparent increase in the number of infested houses and the difficulties which arose...

(b) Section 10 of the same Act enables any sanitary authority on a report from their Medical Officer of Health, to require the owner or occupier of a verminous house to take such steps as may be necessary for the purpose of destroying or removing vermin.

In such cases, however, it is now the practice for a letter to be sent by me stating that the department is prepared to co-operate with the owner in arranging for the disinfestation of infested articles in the room or rooms infested, at the same time as his workmen are dealing with the infested portions of the structur...

(b) Disinfestation. First Day. Owner removes skirtings, architraves and other wood fixtures to walls.

The bedding is not returned until the next day, if this is at all possible, and the pictures are not returned until they have been stripped and re-backed. Second Day.

It is important also to have regard to where the 80 bug may escape toβ€”to the roof space, to adjoining rooms or adjoining housesβ€”and to take appropriate measures to deal with this situation. But one of the most valuable details is a careful search afterwards by trained disinfectors. (c) Subsequent Action. Ten days later...

If he is satisfied that the room appears to be free from bugs, the "verminous" card is handed to the woman sanitary inspector who makes a visit once a month for the first three months or until she gets three successive negative examinations, and then once every two months for the next six months, and it is proposed tha...

It looks, therefore, as if this high concentration killed eggs, but this observation is subject to the reservation that most of this work was done in the latter part of the year after the normal breeding season was over, and it may be that these results may not appear so satisfactory when the rooms are examined in the ...

The present methods of getting rid of bugs are expensive and cumbersome, and a great deal of research work is necessary in order to discover some simple and economic method of dealing with the problem. It is not simply a question of adding a given amount of disinfectant to the air of a room, as there are two very varia...

Secondly : People do not like their neighbours to know they have bugs. They cannot help them knowing it, however, when such a scheme as outlined above is put in force. The mere fact that one of the Council's disinfecting vans visits a house where no ambulance has previously been, means in all probability that the house...

It is safe to assume that the average housewife will pay more attention to the eradication of bed bugs by the usual household methods, and her success or failure will depend on the amount of adjacent infestation, the state of the property and other similar factors. I do not think she can get rid of them when a house is...

It is a matter for consideration, therefore, whether de-bugging should not be done systematically from January to December. It is possible to get rid of bugs in a house in the winter months, and in any event the number of infested houses is sufficient to keep a disinfecting staff employed on this work throughout the wh...
