Rodent Control

The City of Farmers Branch does not treat or exterminate rodents.  The city cannot apply pesticides or rodenticides to private property.  There is a potential risk to domestic animals and pets by applying these toxins to private property.  Placing baits or traps on public areas would only cause the rats to move to private property.  

Rodents are active year-round.  However, a change in the weather, large construction projects and even feeding pets and wildlife can increase their visibility and activity.  By eliminating food, water and shelter you can reduce rodent harborage.  

Homeowners should consult a Licensed Pest Control Company about treatment of private property.  The City of Farmers Branch Code Enforcement Department may investigate any potential area that could be contributing a rodent harborage.
