Serious
Question
of
Rats
.
.
.
Due
to
the
increasing
incidence
..and
wider
distribution
of
rat-borne
diseases
notedly
typhus
fever,
plague
and
tularemia,
the
federal,
provincial
arid
local
health
departments
have
been
making
surveys
of
rat
conditions
and
studies
of
the
various
methods
of
rat
control
and
extermination.
From
experience
over
a
number
of
years,
it
is
found
that
rat
exclusion
and
continuous
extermination,
both
must
be
applied,
to
obtain
appreciable
control
of
these
rodents.
The
ideal
objective,
of
course,
would
be
rat-proof
buildings,
protected
garbage
containers
and
properly
operated
incinerators
for
disposal
of
all
combustible
refuse.
This
goal
cannot
be
reached
until
the
public
realizes
the
immense
economic

losses
incurred
by
these
pests
and
that
their
presence
in
a
community
is
a
constant
menace
to
the
public's
health
and
welfare."
Therefore,
extermination
must
be
carried
on
until
the
public
wakes
up
to
the
dangers
of
rat
infestation.
In
addition
to
huge
economic
losses
caused
by
rats,
they
are
known
to
be
the
causative
factors
in
the
spread
of
several
serious
communicable
diseases
bubonic
plague,
typhus
fever,
infectious
jaundice,
tapeworm
and
rat
bite
fever.
These
diseases
are
not
unknown
in
B.C.
arid
this
northwest
coast.
A
recent
newa
item
appearing
in
the
press
tells
of
the
presence
of
plague
in
the
Port
of
Tacoma,
Washington,
where
the
public
health
authorities
were
forced
to
enact
special
quarantine
and
fumigation
measures
for
the
protection
of
the
health
of
the
people.
Such
a
condition
of
affairs
might
easily
be
brought
about
in
Prince
Rupert,
where,
according
to
a
repent
authoritative
estimates,
there
is
a
rat
population
of
at
least
0,000.
With
an
increase
in
shipping
to
and
from
foreign
ports,
Prince
Rupert
must
be
on
guard
against
any
potential
or
actual
serious
outbreak
of
rat-borne
diesease.
