Alberta’s ‘rat patrol’ ramps up operations as vermin makes inroads in province
Alberta’s rat patrol has intensified its efforts after a dead rodent was discovered in Bowden, a town that had previously been considered rat‑free. The provincial program, which monitors and removes rats, is expanding its coverage to address the growing infestation. Local authorities are coordinating with wildlife experts to curb the spread and protect residents. The initiative also plans to educate residents on prevention measures.
