    11. RATS AND MICE DESTRUCTION AQT> The total destruction of rats instead of driving them away should be the aim of owners and occupiers of premises so infested. It has been clearly demonstrated that certain premises now closed for the preparation of food for human consumption are no longer troubled with rats. Complaints that have been dealt with are mainly from food stores or in premises in close proximity, piggeries and poultry runs. There has not been serious infestation. The adequate protection of all foods including waste is of paramount importance in preventing rat infestation.
