310RATS@gov.ab.ca is the new email address that people can use if they see a rat – dead or alive – in the province. Albertans can also call 310-RATS (7287) to report any sightings.
“This one-step approach will help to keep Alberta rat-free,” explains Karen Wickerson, rat and pest program specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry.
“Using this email allows the person reporting the rodent to snap a picture with their smartphone and send it directly to our rat control program.”
