“We have been working hard to try and resolve the issue of rodent infestation across the general area.

“Many residents’ lives have been affected by this over the years ,there have been numerous meetings with the various statutory bodies to resolve this problem, but it just keeps coming back.

“This is an incredibly frustrating situation for these families who keep their houses in such good condition but feel as if all this is meaningless when there are rats running about their backyards, laneways, in the attics of homes and even going through people’s houses.
