Bug disinfestation in a Prison
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 May 2009
Extract
The bed-bug finds an almost ideal environment in a prison, which is centrally heated in winter, and in which it has good harbourage in the wooden cell furniture and an easily available food supply at night. Under such favourable conditions, bugs increase about seventy-fold in a year. It is therefore no mean achievement to obliterate bugs from an infested prison while the prison is still occupied, and is, I think, worth putting on record.
