Can Loc and Hong Linh residents join forces to kill rats

On October 30 and 31, the People's Committee of Can Loc district and Hong Linh town ( Ha Tinh ) launched a nationwide movement to kill rats and protect crops.

Can Loc people mobilize to kill rats.

In Can Loc , taking advantage of the rainy and flooded days, when the fields were flooded and rats had no place to live, 4 localities in the area called on farmers to participate in the movement to exterminate rats to protect crops. Most communes implemented the method of digging holes, pouring water, smoking...

In 2 days from October 30 to 31, people destroyed 21,600 rats, of which Khanh Vinh Yen commune had 11,000 rats; Kim Song Truong 3,600 rats; Trung Loc 5,000 rats; Thuong Nga 2,000 rats.

People have collected rats and buried them according to the correct procedure to protect the environment.

To encourage people to participate in rat extermination, localities provide financial support (1 - 2 thousand VND/rat) or calculate the labor days for rat extermination to offset the annual labor days for transportation and irrigation work of families.

The movement to kill rats to protect crops will continue to be carried out by localities in Can Loc district in the coming days.

In Hong Linh town, localities have mobilized all forces in the community, agricultural production households, union members and youth to catch rats. The peak period of concentrated rat catching in the entire ward and commune will take place from October 31 to November 10, 2023.

During 2 days (October 29 and 30), taking advantage of the time when the water in the fields rose, focusing on places where rats hide such as: sandbanks, cemeteries, bushes, residential areas, offices... people caught 35,858 rats.

Rats are collected and buried according to proper procedures to protect the environment.

The popular method is still manual fishing such as setting traps, digging holes, pouring water, dams... Typical of this movement are Dau Lieu ward, Duc Thuan and Thuan Loc commune.

To encourage farmers in the rat extermination movement, agricultural production cooperatives bought each rat for 2,000 VND.
