Rats Invade Barnes Street Home
By Robert L. Oliver
More than 20 rats were
counted in the home of an
Augustan mother and her 4
children on Tuesday and she
alleges the Richmond County
Health Department has been
slow about helping her get rid
of the rats.
The woman, who lives on
West Bames Street and asked
not to be identified, said she
reported her plight to Randy
Gunter, social worker at
Bethlehem Community Center,
because she is fearful for the
safety of her children and does
not know who to go to for
help.
According to Gunter, he
called the Environmental
Sanitation Division (ESD) of
the Health Department and
spoke to Mrs. Ave Vinson.
“She told me that all her office

could do about the situation
was to give the family free rat
poison but the complainant
had to come by her office and
pick it up,” he said. Gunter
obtained the free rat poison for
the mother and left it for the
rats to eat; however, the
anonymous mother said, “The
rats ate those two bags of stuff
and were back for more, it
seemed like.”
A subsequent call was placed
to R. Herndon, (ESD), who
sent a worker to the home with
two additional bags of the
poison (Warfarin). According
to the mother, the worker said
it would take seven days for
the poison to take effect. “In
that amount of time my
children might well be eaten
alive,” she said.

asked not to be named,
contend the rats have been
around their neighborhood for
years. As one resident puts it,
“Sure, we used to catch one or
two a day in traps, but now
that the city is tearing up the
streets the rats have no place to
go so they come into our
homes.” Bames Street is under
construction now as the city of
Augusta is paving the street.
As of Friday, the rat
problem was taken to the
office of the Augusta Mayor,
Lewis A. Newman. Mayor
Newman contacted the Health
Department and worked out an
agreement where that agency
will supervise a city work gang
in an effort to rid the entire
800 block of Bames Street of
the rat problem.
