The Province of Alberta operates a Rat Control program to keep the province free of resident populations of rats. Brazeau County’s Agricultural Services Division also assists to keep the County rat-free. Rats require living with humans and within there structures and do not survive well within wild areas. They are considered a pest under the “Agricultural Pest Act of Alberta (1942)”. You can phone 310-FARM (3276) or contact our Agricultural Department if you have any questions or concerns.
