Clause 104

When a Health Officer is of opinion that any premises are so infested with rats, mice or other vermin as to be a danger to the health of the persons in the house or of the community, he may serve notice on the owner or occupier of such premises, calling upon him to take such measures as he considers necessary for the destruction of such rats, mice or other vermin and for the removal of their breeding places and for preventing their re-appearance.

Any owner or occupier who does not comply with such notice within seven days shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars and to a further fine not exceeding ten dollars for every day during which the work is not carried out after conviction, and the Health Officer or any public officer authorised by him in that behalf in writing may enter upon the premises and take such measures as he considers necessary for carrying out the purposes of this section and the expenses thereby incurred shall be paid by the person in default and may be recovered in the manner provided under section 152 of this Ordinance.
