ANIMAL PEST CONTROL
The municipality appoints a Pest Control Officer each year to keep rat infestation in check. The Pest control Officer is hired by contract to conduct two tours of the entire municipality each year one in early spring and in the fall.
They are responsible for identifying rat infested sites, setting up bait stations, monitoring these sites, keeping accurate records and time sheets, making annual reports to council and educating the ratepayers on identifying rat infestation and eradication and control measures.
ANIMAL PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS
The municipality provides pest control products at no charge to R.M. of Harris property owners.
Bait Boxes are available at a cost of $26.00 per box.
If you require assistance or bait from the Pest Control Officer, please contact Owen Zoerb at 306-381-3377.
