Rat Education Materials
As a way to help individuals, community groups, businesses and neighborhood associations assist in educating about rat and rodent control and prevention we have created some easy to use tools. We have materials to use with your social media accounts, text for newsletters or emails and posters and brochures.
Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for community members to educate each other about rat prevention and control.
No permission is needed to use these but we would love to hear where and how you use them to track our educational outreach efforts. Email Lindsay Selser to let the City know how the rat control and prevention messages are getting out in our community.
