have already been dealt with in my last two Annual 86 Reports.

(c) Unoccupied Houses belonging to the Council.β€”The routine method followed in these cases was spraying with orthodichlorbenzine.

As these huts became empty, those which were bug-infested were sprayed 87 out with a mixture of othodichlorbenzine and carbon tetrachloride, with results which appeared to be highly satisfactory.

(b) Orthodichlorbenzine.β€”In the report for 1933 I referred to experimental work carried out with this chemical which promised well. Briefly its fumes are so irritating to the bed-bug that it leaves its resting places much in the same way as rabbits are bolted by ferrets. Further experience has shown that ODCB is a valu...
