Is there any public assistance available for treatment of rats?
Yes, the Memphis and Shelby County Health Department's Rodent Control Program will promptly respond to citizen complaints and will examine the property for rodent activity. Trained staff will provide information about reduction in rodent activity and if necessary will apply EPA-certified rodenticides (rat poison) and traps in emergency situations to eliminate serious uncontrolled rat infestations. For additional information or to file a complaint call please call (901) 324-5922.
