Living rat-free in Alberta is a reality that most New Yorkers can't begin to imagine
In Alberta’s early stages of rat eradication, Wickerson said education was key. Public campaigns illustrated the threat the rodents posed to agriculture, including putting taxidermied rats in all the local field offices, just so Albertans “could see what a rat actually looked like.”
Officers and local farmers patrol the area for signs of the vermin, spending only a short amount of time at each farm before moving on to the next one. Wickerson, who has an email folder with hundreds of possible rat sightings, tells Glass that most of the time she receives false reports. Muskrats, in particular, are commonly spotted instead.
