Fumigation A Addington
A large consignment of railway truck components, sent from Jugoslavia to Christchurch for the Railways Department, will be fumigated for a wood-boring beetle on Monday. The fumigation, believed to be one of the biggest of its kind in Christchurch, will be done at the Addington railway workshops where the components are to be assembled. The area manager of the Christchurch pest control firm to do the fumigation (Mr M. J. McCallum) said yesterday that the crates in which tire components were stored would be covered with plastic sheeting. This work was expected to take most of the day. Methyl bromide gas would then be sprayed nn and left overnight. A similar fumigation was done on a house at Lyttelton recently, he said.
