VERY concerning that the rat population in Bournemouth has increased in the year from 2019 to 2020 by nearly 25 per cent from 324,367 to 405,459.


These figures were established by pest.co.uk and make for very worrying numbers.
I wonder if the total numbers quoted include full time residents only or those just visiting for the day.


With the ability to calculate with such accuracy might I suggest that pest.co.uk might be given the job of carrying out the next UK Census because we do not have a clue as to how many people are living in the UK.
