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

Not many, they failed to catch the bigger "rats," Jet ski operators, ladyboys, RTP, etc.

The thread is about rodents, not freelancers.

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

Teach 'em to swim.

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

The problem in Pattaya is the cats are afraid of the rats, I have seen it many times where the cats just look at the rats then move away from them.

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

Great  idea, now go and tell all the shop owners that leave out little plates of food on the floor

Tell them to leave the whiskey and strawberry soda though.  It gets me through the morning.

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.

Shh.... This is Thailand ?

I used some of those traps to get rid of rats at one of our shops, baited with peanut butter and bacon, but the accuracy of construction was poor, the rats could often wander in and out at will, difficult to adjust for sensitivity.

Time for some Nu Na....yummy!

Interesting article on an alternative to rat poison:

 

“Eventually, out of a mix of curiosity and desperation, she fed it to both males and females. The result was dramatic. It turns out that the triptolide destroyed sperm – the males became sterile almost immediately after ingesting the formula.

And that was just in the 10 minutes before we had to stop for lunch.

[HappyinNE]

My question before seeing the picture was if the rats had two or four legs.

[lvr181]

Well, great success (NOT) catching some four legged rats - now make an effort to catch the two legged variety!

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

More like 105 traps claimed to be purchased on paper but in reality it was only 27 ?

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

 

Won't go to waste.

 

Will be served up immediately in connected local restaurants.

[SheungWan]

With the amount of food consumed in the Beach area there is always going to be a source for birds and rats. The problem is that the local municipality does not seem to have had a programme for regular eradication/reduction of the rat population which has multiplied and spread to the pavements. Not good for tourism as they say so maybe something will now be done.

[jippytum]

There are hundreds of rats clearly visible early morning .27 is the tip of the problem .Will they transfer them to another location as they do with the homing  pigeons they catch in Chaing Mai

 

 

[natway09]

27 is a waste of time.

We must have 200  in our apartments rubbish & growing.

When I suggested that I close the 3 outlets & fumigate the place the reaction was basically "are you a murderer"?

[DILLIGAD]

Perhaps the local council could pay a bounty per each rat. That would soon get rid of them!!

Plenty pussy there. Doesn't work apparently.

 

Or maybe I am a bit naive.

[Cake Monster]

The chances are that the 27 rodents caught were the result of 27 vendors doing their bit to try and rid the beach of them.

The other 78 non effective traps were the result of vendors who said " Who pay me to do this ? - no being payed, no do "

 

[chama]

Were they wearing badges?

[johng]

Were they wearing badges?

Maybe they are V.I.P rats ?
