The delayed rat abatement program is moving forward in Lakeshore.
The program was initially approved two years ago, but the rollout was delayed until now.
The municipality is now accepting applications for the residential rat abatement pilot program.
Property owners can apply for a rebate of up to 50 per cent of the cost of extermination services, to a maximum of $200.
Earlier this year, council allocated $10,000 for the program.
To be considered, residents must complete a brief intake form, and have the outside of their home inspected by a bylaw officer.
