Air Force Garbage
Dump Poses Rat
Threat To Nome
Dr. E. Schiller, who started a
rat survey last December in con
nection with his work with the
Arctic, returned last week to con
tinue his study of the situation.
He stated he has found a decided
decline in the rat population since
his first visit.
He says this is probably due
to four causes—reduction due to
the fact that many rats were tak
en in December for these studies;
high prevalence of frozen feet;
lung infections found in the rats
(definitely not T.B. but the posi
tive agent still unknown); and
the fact that the rats have moved
into an area where there is gar
bage and food storage.
Dr. Schiller found little evi
dence of rats on the city dump
and reported he was pleased with
the condition in which the city
dump was bulldozed and con
trolled.
The military dump, however,
showed a heavy population and
will no doubt be the source of an
eventual population rise in the
whole area.
Dr. Schiller has with him a
powerful rat poison which kills
the rats within two or three feet
from where it is located, but it is
questionable whether it can be
used on the military dump due to
the fact that several Eskimos
scavenger the dump regularly, as
well as dogs. To use the poison
there would necessitate posting a
guard at the dump during the
course of the extermination, since
the poison can be used only with
the utmost precaution.
On this trip Schiller is seeking
small field mice to determine
whether the disease, found in rats
'and dogs on St. Lawrence Island,
has reached the mainland.
