Environmental Health officers have been called out more than 4,000 TIMES across Glasgow in just six months to deal with reports of rats.
Another nine wards have each prompted over 200 callouts. The worst of these is Baillieston with 273, followed by Shettleston with 258 and Greater Pollok with 242 visits. Notable others on the list are Springburn and Robroyston with 213, Govan with 216 and Garscadden with 203. “Obviously we have had a lot of wet weather, followed by very hot spells, and this will bring vermin out, but when you see how widespread the problem is, it is clearly a deeper issue.”Health
Councillor Mooney says that he thinks a decrease in the support offered in general maintenance to gardens and communal areas is exacerbating the rat problem. A spokesperson for Glasgow City Council said the issue of tackling rats and other pests remains one of the local authority’s top priorities.
