The rats coming marching out
ANCHORAGE, AL -
Anchorage can no long claim
to be the largest rat-free
port city in the Northern
Hemisphere.
State biologist Rick
Sinnott caught and killed
two Norway rats found at a
pond near a South
Anchorage school and pro
fessional exterminators
hired by the city placed
more traps at the scene
Monday afternoon.
"We're concerned," said
Chris Tofteberg, manager of
the municipal food safety
and sanitation program. "It
sounds like they're domestic
rats turning feral as we
speak."
Crews from American
Pest Management planned
to set both live and snap
traps until at least a week

passes without any more
rats caught, said operations
manager Larry Jones.
"This is the first time that
we have a record of a con
firmed trapping of a rat out
in the environment" in
Anchorage, said Jones, who
has been in the pest control
business in Alaska for 25
years.
The response was good
news to resident Theresa
Bayer, who discovered the
rats scrambling from a cul
vert at a park near Dimond
High School and later
showed Sinnott a videotape
of a one foot-long rodent as
proof.
"When we were feeding
the ducks, the rats came
swimming out of the water,
and it was so gross," Bayer
told the Anchorage Daily
News.
