Residents in the Ballymakenny area are being urged to remain vigilant due to increased rat activity. Independent councillor Declan Power contacted Louth County Council after residents raised concerns. Movement of land and ongoing construction work can contribute to higher rodent activity. The council’s Pest Control Team has been notified and will continue monitoring and responding according to procedures. Residents are advised to report sightings quickly so locations can be logged and assessed. Household bins should be properly sealed, waste bags should not be left outdoors, and food sources such as uncovered pet food or bird feed spillages should be removed. Gardens should be inspected for signs of burrowing or nesting activity, and community cooperation is needed for efficient resolution.
