Table 1. Relationship between infestation and the proximity of street lights.
Close to a street light (<17 m) | Far from a street light (>17 m) | |
Infested houses | 111 (51.9%) | 103 (48.1%) |
Non-infested houses | 581 (39.6%) | 885 (60.4%) |
The proximity of a public street light resulted in a 1.64 fold increase in the likelihood of a house being infested (95% confidence interval: 1.23–2.18).
