Dear Editor,
Looked out on our deck and saw something I’d never seen before in Kemptville (and I’ve been here a long time) – a large brown rat. Next day a smaller one appeared with one baby, and the next day with two babies, My neighbours have the same problem. It has been suggested the dumsters around town are a cause? I read in today’s Citizen that Alberta is rat free. Can we not be the same?

I live on Prescott St as well. Have since 1997. My backyard neighbours with KPS. This is the first year we’ve seen rats. I correlate the problem with the school being torn down.
