Rat plague in Vienna-Brigittenau: Authorities raise the alarm!

Treppelweg, 12059 Wien, Österreich - in Vienna-Brigittenau there is currently an alarming rat problem that very worries the residents. Small rodents have nestled along the popular stairway and benefit from a wealth of food sources that were left by non -careful walkers. The district manager Christine Dubravac-Widholm described the situation as serious and demands increased controls and possible punishments from the responsible bodies in order to effectively counter the problem. Especially the MA 45, responsible for the Viennese waters, urgently appeals to the citizens, not to give wild animals, as this contributes to the plague of rat and violates the Vienna Reinhaltegesetz, such as oe24.at reported.

In order to counter the rat problem, "close -meshed controls" have already been carried out. Frequent control courses are organized to clarify the residents about the problem and to remove old foods from the bushes on Donaudamm. In addition, children's and pet-proof bait boxes were set up to reduce the population of the uninvited guests. Despite the ongoing measures, the situation remains tense and the city plans an action day to draw even more attention to the problem, as wien.orf.at reports.
