Commonwealth Homes pest control

John Fareham and John Abbott report that the maggots and bluebottles that have been causing problems in Commonwealth Homes should be dead by now.


Our latest information is that the food waste on which the insects and prospective insects have been feeding has been removed and, in its absence, the insects should only have been able to survive for seven to ten days.  The warden has been made aware of the circumstances and, if no further food is prepared in the communal area, what has in effect been an underfloor maternity hospital for creepy-crawlies should be closed down, hopefully for good. Of course insects cannot be totally relied on never to return, but one does rather hope they will take the view that richer pickings are to be had elsewhere and make their movements accordingly. If, however, they do not then we and the officers will work once more to resolve the problem.
