The Village of Skokie has an aggressive rat control program that includes inspections for rats, treatment of burrows, and ensuring that preventive measures are in place.  Rats live in areas where there is food, water and shelter.  Rat activity can be controlled and prevented by bagging garbage securely in containers, picking up fallen birdseed, cleaning up after dogs and maintaining property.  To learn more please review Preventing Rats in Skokie.

In order for the Health Department staff to treat for rats, the Rat Control Release of Liability online form linked above must be completed.  For further questions, please contact Environmental Health Officer, Lillian LaSanta at (847) 933-8484.
