Residents are being urged to report every sighting via the Idaho Department of Agriculture’s new reporting system — crucial for mapping the problem and understanding its scale before deciding on solutions.

If you spot a rat, report it — your input could shape how this crisis is solved. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
