Rat remediation program underway in Laurel barn area
The company that has been contracted to handle a rat remediation plan in the Laurel Park stable area said the initial results have been positive.
AmericanPest, based in Fulton, Md., has placed more than 150 "Smart boxes" throughout the barn area after a walk-through to determine the best locations. The boxes, which have a data-tracking system, work in conjunction with rodenticides that are kept outside of barns so horses aren't exposed to the poison.
