A reader wrote to us:

The issue of rats on Podgórna Street. Today I noticed considerable activity from these rodents. They are running along the street and on the pavements beneath the apartment blocks.

And added:

Is the city taking any preventive measures to limit their population? As is widely known, rat poison in basements is effective only once; a rat learns quickly. If one dies, the others will not touch it.

We asked Miasto Bolesławiec about the matter. Here is the response:

Miejski Zakład Gospodarki Mieszkaniowej w Bolesławcu reports that in 2021, deratization of properties owned by Gmina Miejska Bolesławiec was commissioned twice (in April and July).

In addition, written requests were sent to PWiK Sp. z o. o. w Bolesławcu and all property managers in the city, asking them to carry out deratization on the properties they manage.

What do you think? Have you seen rats in our city recently? If so, where is the situation worst? We invite you to join the discussion.
