Therfield Heath rat baiting: Infestation response criticism

Royston s  Richard Ketteringham told the Crow: If it is serious enough to use poison, the the car park should be closed. The conservators are not taking it seriously - what concerns me is it s a public health emergency and they are not acting like they ve got a public health emergency. And laying down the poison is a bigger risk to wildlife and dogs. If the conservators and North Herts District Council want to show they are taking it seriously, close the car park and get rid of the waste. Conservators chair Ms Swarbrick said: The rat infestation is being taken seriously by the conservators. All options were considered before taking action, including closing the car park to cut out food waste and litter.

This has significantly reduced the risk of any human contact with the bait, said the conservators chair Clare Swarbrick. However, we are warning all users – particularly dog walkers – to be alert. Keep young children and dogs close to you and within eyesight to ensure that they do not come into contact with rats/rat remains in this area.
