Why Rat Control Is a Particular Issue in Langley
Langley's rat pressure has two major sources. The Fraser River runs along the entire northern boundary of the municipality — Derby Reach Regional Park sits right on the Fraser — providing one of the strongest Norway rat waterway corridors in BC connecting to Fort Langley residential, Walnut Grove, and northern township residential.
Langley's extensive Agricultural Land Reserve creates a second major rat pressure source unique among Metro Vancouver municipalities. Agricultural grain storage, greenhouse operations, composting in farm settings, and field margins throughout the ALR sustain Norway rat populations at agricultural densities. Properties adjacent to farms, greenhouses, and agricultural operations throughout the township see above-average rat pressure from these agricultural populations.
Older Fort Langley and Brookswood homes with crawl spaces carry the entry geometry that waterway and agricultural rat populations exploit.
