Description

FREE Rat Control Community Workshop

Humane and ecologically friendly strategies for healthier neighborhoods

Rats are part of urban environments, but unmanaged populations can threaten public health, food safety, backyard poultry, and soil health. Rodenticides can cause damage to our ecosystem and food system. Join the Massachusetts Avenue Project in partnership with Cornell Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and The Tool Library for a workshop and demonstration focused on effective rat control strategies.

This session will center on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles and practical strategies you can apply at home, on your property, in gardens, on urban farms, or in community spaces.

Date: Saturday, September 26th

Time: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Location: Massachusetts Avenue Project (MAP), 387 Massachusetts Avenue Buffalo, NY 14213

Learn how to:

Identify signs of rat activity and rat burrows
Reduce rat and pest attractants
Strengthen site and property management to prevent rats
Understand your options for humane, environmentally responsible options for rat control

A field demonstration of the burrow treatment method with BurrowRx will be included as one part of a broader rat control strategy education and resource program. Participants who attend this workshop are able to rent the BurrowRx for residential burrow treatment through the Tool Library.
