27 rats caught on Pattaya Beach

PATTAYA:--Pattaya health officials captured 27 rats on Pattaya Beach in their latest effort to make the shoreline rodent-free.

 

Disease control head Kanrapa Mukdasanit said Sept. 10 that the Health Department had distributed 105 rat traps to beach vendors north of Soi 13, urging them to put out traps weekly.

 

In the first week, 27 rats were caught.

 

Health officials urged vendors and beach users to dispose of all food and trash separately to keep the vermin population under control.

27 out of 105 traps is a 25% success rate.

Pattaya rats are picky creatures, maybe the bait wasn't up to their high standards. ?

How many of those traps were put out?  Perhaps 27 and therefore a 100% success rate?

[johng]

Perhaps the rats will be  released into neighbouring sois after being neutered and vaccinated ?

Joke as you will when I worked in Qatar in the mid 80's they had rats the size of small dogs. They got rid of them by bringing into the country a lot of cats. Now you will be hard pushed to see a rat anywhere over there

If there were 27 rats on the beach, it is a 100% success rate.

If there were 2700  rats on the beach, it is a 1% success rate.

But loads of massive pussies !

[fforest1]

Rats are smart...Once they see their rat brothers caught in a trap they learn to avoid the traps....

[Justgrazing]

No more beaches .? 

[Chang_paarp]

How many of the traps actually worked? And how many were for looking like something is being done?

[marcusarelus]

The rats are alive in the traps what are they going to do with them?  Ship them to Bangkok and release?

[Tailwagsdog]

MMMmmmm satay rat on a stick late at night in walking street ..please make sure you remove the fur & bones & grill it a bit longer MMM mmmm tasty

[Kadilo]

I wonder if the PM will chime in on this and demand that the rats can be relocated but not harmed?  don't they deserve to be treated like their brothers with wings?  (see article on pigeons in CM)

Best to drown them in the water in their cages. After that leave them on the beach and let the tide take them out to sea like everything else. Like the new sand brought in at great expense, raw sewage and all the other effluent from hotels and the plastic and garbage and cigarette butts. 

I wonder if rattus pattayas is a sub -species of rattus klongtoey?

Not a very Buddhist answer is it watching the little critters drown in a cage like a terrorist captive?

I thought it was going to say, the majority were renting jetskis and beach mats to foreigners.... ? 

[LukDod]

Oops! I'm guilty of  misreading the title of the article.

I thought the police finally did something about the rats that rent Jet skis !

And they had no fear of anyone. They were among the biggest I've seen, in Doha that was.

[AlexCanada]

Maybe some of the traps didn't work since the beach vendor ate the cheese in the trap.

 

I'm confident all rats will be caught.  Pattaya is a world class resort.
