Is there a Rat problem in Saugus? I live on Indian Rock drive and discovered holes being dug under my deck. At first I dismissed it as chipmunks, later I discovered that they were huge Norweigian Rats. I had an exterminator come and they placed boxes with poison around my property. But need to be careful because i have small dogs. My cousin on Randell road told me he is spotting them in his area and his neighbor also hired an exterminator. Another friend of mine lives near the Iron Works is catching them trying to control the population. He says he kills two or three a night. My neighbor also confirmed seeing them often. I also noticed that someone on Stillings had rat boxes on the border of their property. I emailed a couple of people at the town hall but didn't get a response. Is the town aware of this problem and are their any plans to deal with it?
