A combination of an increase in construction and chilly weather has increased the amount of vermin in and around Sydney, Australia. There's no use trying to ask them nicely to leave, they are here to stay. Now the council is stepping up to deal with the problem head on by doubling down on control measures and engaging residents and businesses to help push down the infesting population. This problem is not new with Sydney dealing with this type of problem year in year out. Businesses are advised to take care how they dispose of food and residents should take precautions to ensure unwanted pests don't bed down with them in hidden places.

Good advice.

    Rats deserve to live and killing them is wrong IMO. Also our close relatives biologically, and the poison ends up in our air water and food. Can you put 1+1 together?

    Stop the ratism. Rats want simply to integrate in our food chain. It's not like once settled they demand us to cover our females and respect their barbaric customs.
