Rats chow down on grains of puffed rice in this file photo.
Two Calgary recycling plants have been infested with the pests, but according to one of them, the situation is under control.
"The issue is under control and being managed onsite," said Hugo D'Amours, the vice-president of communications, public affairs and sustainability at Cascades Recovery+. While the two facilities that have rats are in close proximity to each other, Karen Wickerson, the province's rat and pest specialist, said there is little risk to other businesses in the area.
"Small infestations occasionally occur," reads a statement on the government's website. "But when found, the rats are isolated and eradicated through proven control methods."
