How to I get rid of rats on my property?
We recommend that you contact a qualified exterminator. Our Public Works Department will only bait the sewers in the vicinity.
To prevent rodent infestation, do not feed wildlife, keep garbage in cans with tight-fitting lids, clean up animal waste from yard, keep grasses and other weeds trimmed, do not allow water to pool or collect in your yard and raise wood piles off the ground.
