HOUSE NUMBERS

CIA is requesting Baltimore County Code Enforcement start enforcing the rear house numbers. These numbers are used when EMS and POLICE need to locate an address from the alley. Baltimore County Code requires that each home have rear numbers. The fine is $100.00 If you need a sign, CIA can help.

BAIT & BAIT STATIONS

We will work out a price including both and keep it to a minimum. By doing it this way, Colgate will have a Bait Station in every yard inaccessible to non target animals. It's our job - OUR RESPONSIBILITY - to talk this up as much as possible. This time our order did not have shipping costs so the price will not be much different. We are making a BIG DIFFERENCE with our efforts and combined with Baltimore County, we will start to see these animals vanish. We need to keep reporting anyone who does not get the trashcan idea. Cans MUST HAVE A LID TIGHTLY SECURED. Let us know when bags are on the ground. CIA will take care of the rest. Remember, PROTEIN is how they live long enough to multiply.

BALTIMORE COUNTY IS POSTING NOTICES FOR THEIR PROGRAM

CIA and Baltimore County teamed up to track houses that DO and DO NOT participate. Everyone has a part in the Eradication of the Rodent Infestation.  Rats would not reach breeding age if they didn’t have food sources. They would die off by 3 months without protein from our trash. Leaving trash bags outside of a secure can is a $500 fine and Baltimore County is cracking down. Rat burrows need to be filled in and covered. Furniture and debris acts as rodent haarborage. Baltimore County and the Colgate Improvement Association will be working hard to eradicate this infestation. If you see trash outside a secure can, send us the address and a photo if possible. We will take care of the rest.
