Rat Rubout Program
Rats have historically been a problem in human living environments. The most common rat in Baltimore is the Norway Rat also known as the Brown Rat. They are a source of disease, cause property damage, and negatively impact the image of communities.
Good sanitation practices are the best way to control rat populations. Rats need food, water, and shelter. Eliminating these factors will result in a reduction in the rodent population.
Hillen Road Improvement Association wants to organize the effort to combat rat infestation in our neighborhoods. HRIA will submit a collective service request so multiple areas are treated, avoiding rats migrating to adjacent properties. In order to have HRIA and DPW address rat abatement, please fill out Release of Liability form to allow DPW on your property.
Alternatively, you can mail the completed form to HRIA
