Swansea top of the league for rodents, with over 40 vermin related call-outs a day THE Pied Piper could be living in Swansea, the Welsh Conservatives have quipped, following figures showing the council made more rodent-related call-outs in the last two years than any other Welsh authority. Its pest control officers made 31,000 visits in 2008/9 and 2009/10 said the party â an average of more than 40 per day â on the back of 11,000 vermin-related calls. ​ Rhondda Cynon Taff made the second highest number of visits, with 27,000. The figures were released following a Freedom of Information request. Darren Millar, Assembly Member for Clwyd West, claimed rats and mice were running rampant in Wales. "And with 31,000 visits to deal with rodent infestations in Swansea alone, local residents must be wondering whether the Pied Piper is living in the city," he joked. Mr Millar said he believed that getting on top of issues like litter and fly-tipping could keep a lid on rodent numbers. "Large rodent problems are unhealthy and costly, and we need to target the causes to get rid of them," he said. Shadow Minister for Local Government, Jonathan Morgan AM, said he welcomed the efforts that some councils have already made to cut the number of rodent infestations. He added: "We need national action to introduce tougher penalties for littering and fly-tipping and better enforcement to address these issues." http://www.thisissouthwales.co.uk/Swansea-league-8212-rodents/story-12384035-detail/story.html

yea, a few good quotes from the usual fogeys: 'Swamp is,and has always been in my opinion,a very poor mans profit,lacking the guile and intellect,but equal in terms of anti Swansea venom.' 'Any thoughts on deleting the thread guys? My own view is that it should stay up just to remind jacks of the bitterness fostered by those up the road and the fact its killing them we Are premier league on the pitch' sense of humour fail..........
