DISINFESTATION. Following the experiments carried out last year with residual insecti- cides the Department has concentrated on the use of 5% D.D.T. in powder or liquid form as required by the type of infestation and the premises to be dealt with or alternatively with Benzine-Hexachloride Powder. An improved form of the latter in the form of smoke generators has recently become available and is comparatively odourless, it is dis- tributed as aerolsols and constitutes a great improvement on the former compound.
