Part 10/12:
Community Engagement: Citizens’ reports are vital. The more data collected from residents, the better officials can target hot spots, especially in areas where burrows or rat activity are hidden.
Environmental Management: Proper waste management, sealing of entry points, and infrastructure repair are critical. Encouraging residents to maintain cleanliness reduces attractants.
Targeted Control Operations: Regular and extensive site treatments, especially in known hotspots and areas with ongoing infestations, are necessary to keep rat populations in check.
