Health Department hunts rats at Bali Hai Pier

PATTAYA:--The Public Health Department brought more traps and poison to the Bali Hai Pier area to tame the rat population.

 

The second visit this year Nov. 6 again saw officials and volunteers urging street vendors to properly dispose of garbage and food scraps that feed rats. They passed out pamphlets explaining the risks of rat-carried leptospirosis.

 

Four dead rats were found and disposed of while more traps were placed to catch the vermin.

Good that the poison can't rain/flush into the sea.....better blame the smokers for killing marine life.

watching terriers catching rats is more fun for tourists...and also for the dog and their owners.

The Rats are  not the problem.

If you stop all the illegal trash dumping and tidy up the generally filthy Environment, the Rats will move to another place in search of food.

More than enough places for them to vacate too in Pattaya.

The rats are the only thing cleaning up the beach!

let's not be unfair and give the flash floods some credit here..

during rainy season(12 months!) the flash floods clean the beach!

As a matter of fact, all the trash along with the cigarette butts, used condoms, dead rats, cockroaches and......AND the entire BEACH SAND, all end up in the ocean leaving the coast so clean you can eat off the floor.

well, off the sandbags!

The video of  the dogs catching rats was fascinating.  I was amazed at how many were flushed out in 10 minutes.  I didn't keep count but it was more than the four dead ones that Pattaya rat catchers managed!

The rats aren't being caught humanely and given a new home in Udon Thani?

And your source?

 

The future capital of Thailand wouldn't want them anyway.

 

The answer is cats.

Yes they have to be caught evaluated, vaccinated then neutered before transport to the rat pound next door to the dog pound where they all wait for  kindly new owners. ????
