Santa Cruz County, wealthy, well educated, progressive, still only has rat/vector Education and Inspection, but not an Eradication fully funded program, when rats carry diseases, eat car and house wire insulation causing house fires, and eat holes in houses causing $1000s in damages ,,, in neighborhoods like the unincorporated area near all those expensive houses near the Harbor,,, and Capitola, the Gulch, right across the tracks from Depot Hill super expensive neighborhood !!
Santa Cruz County could and should fully fund a vector/rat Eradication program, besides its Education program and minimal Inspection program!!
Do you want rats , at NIGHT, in darkness, crawling all over your yard, roof,,, and possibly living in your house and attic ?!! Of course not !!
