1 |
Introduction |
I received a telephone complaint about rats from Mr Chan Hing hung, householder of Ground Floor, 29A, Wanchai Road, HK on 8 Apr. |
|
2 |
Procedure |
I visited the premises on 9 April to talk to Mr Chan and to make observations |
|
3 |
Findings 3.1 Observations |
I found: a) four large rat holes in the back yard of the premises; b) rat droppings in the yard, but none in the house; c) that the yard was clean and tidy and there was no edible refuse.
|
|
3.2 Interview |
Mr Chan informed me that rats had never been seen in the house but had been seen crossing the yard late at night. | |
|
4 |
Conclusion |
Since the rats cannot find food in the premises, it is likely that they find their food in the neighbourhood. |
|
5 |
Recommendation |
I suggest that: a) we visit other premises in the neighbourhood in order to find out where the rats get food; b) we place two rat traps near the rat holes and ask Mr Chan to ring this department if a rat is caught. |
