Rats are back in the crosshairs of Sicamous council after a couple of the critters decided to shop local.

Coun. Bob Evans revisited the issue after a local business owner reported seeing a 91裸聊视频渞at walk through the front door91裸聊视频� of his store and had to help remove one from a neighbouring location. 

91裸聊视频淭his is just small anecdotal evidence of a big problem we have,91裸聊视频� he pointed out, asking about options. 91裸聊视频淐an we... consider kind of getting aggressive with this and bringing in Orkin with traps and getting some rat hit men on the job, or something like that.91裸聊视频�

Operations manager Darrell Symbaluk explained that the district has thus far 91裸聊视频渇ought back91裸聊视频� with education of cleaning up compost, fruit fall and garbage. 

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e continually pushing out that information as best we can,91裸聊视频� he said, adding that he91裸聊视频檒l also look into Orkin and whether or not they use poison.

In response to Evans91裸聊视频� query about traps the district used to have available for use by the public, Symbaluk said they91裸聊视频檙e baited with poison and can91裸聊视频檛 be used due to the threat to birds of prey and other predators. He wasn91裸聊视频檛, however, sure about other, safer bait options for the traps. 

91裸聊视频淚 can take that as an information request,91裸聊视频� Symbaluk said. 91裸聊视频淎nd reach out to somebody that does rats for a living and see what we can come up with.91裸聊视频�

As a restaurateur, Coun.Ian Baillie has explored options to keep vermin away from his establishments and said there a number of 91裸聊视频渘on-poison but lethal91裸聊视频� routes certified by the province that the district could look at. With that and other suggestions on the table, council directed Symbaluk to work with Baillie in exploring different options that would work for the community.
