closed: Resolved #188213

Animal Control & Neglected Pets:

Other: We have complained about this before, but nothing was done. The dumpster in the parking lot has a large hole on the east side near the bottom, ostensibly for drainage. However, it is large enough for rats to enter and exit, which they do to feast at night. There are *always* rats running around the parking lot because of this. They live in the little caves right behind the dumpster. Please do *not* poison or trap the rats. Rather, we would like the hole sealed up so that the rats will no longer have an endless source of food and will move somewhere else. This seems like a simple fix. What do we have to do to get someone to listen?

I have spoken to the General Manager of the rental property, and called Republic Services about the drainage hole. I have also brought this issue to the attention of the Monroe County Health Department, because of the extensive rat burrow colony. If you would like to be heard, please feel free to call HAND at 812-349-3420. John H

John, Is this something that you all would deal with? It is not an issue that we would deal with.
