Pest control work ongoing at Pinkeen

Pest control contractors carried out an initial treatment in the Pinkeen Stream area last week to begin elimination of the rats problem there, writes Brian Byrne.

Complete Pest Control, working on behalf of Kildare County Council, will also be back on site this week to install bait traps, according to Simon Wallace, Parks Superintendent with KCC.

"They will continue to monitor and bait the site for the next three months and the situation will then be reviewed," Mr Wallace says. "I cannot give an estimate as to when the situation will be resolved as this will depend on the uptake of the bait."
