RICHMOND (AP) – Inspectors from the Maine Center for Disease Control will check the Marcia Buker School to make sure traps are safe and that no pesticides harmful to children are being used to counter a problem with rats.
Richmond Code Enforcement Officer Douglas Marble said state inspectors also will seek to ensure food in the building is being kept in rat-proof containers.
Marble said additionally Friday he has asked the Sagadahoc County Board of Health to determine if there is a townwide rat infestation.
School officials hired an exterminator a few weeks ago. Neighboring businesses and residences also have reported problems with rodents.
