Sewer Urban Pest Control Ratcatcher Rats Vermin
War on the Rats - A Fierce Battle Against Urban Vermin
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from December 1943, we witness the relentless efforts of a ratcatcher during World War II. The war on rats is in full swing, and half a million of these pesky creatures have already met their demise since the campaign began in November. With determination etched on his face, the ratcatcher employs a strategic method to exterminate these unwelcome guests. The ingenious plan involves luring the rats with tantalizing tit bits of food mixed with poison, cunningly placed within their runs and sewers. This lethal concoction proves to be an effective weapon against these urban vermin that threaten public health and hygiene. As we gaze upon this historic image, we cannot help but admire the bravery and dedication displayed by those involved in this vital pest control operation. Their tireless efforts aim to safeguard communities from diseases spread by rats amidst the chaos of war. With hopes high for victory over this infestation, it is anticipated that by year's end, over one million rats will have been eradicated through this calculated approach. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience even in times of adversity – reminding us that no challenge is insurmountable when faced with unity and determination.
