CBH Hails Rodent Awareness A Success After Nationwide Campaign

The Central Board of Health (CBH) in Antigua and Barbuda has successfully concluded its Rodent Awareness Week, a comprehensive initiative aimed at educating the public on rodent control and effective waste management practices. The campaign, which spanned across various communities, emphasized the importance of maintaining clean environments to curb rodent infestations. Residents and businesses were actively engaged, with CBH teams deploying traps in key areas such as Grays Farm, Browne’s Avenue, Potters, St John’s Village, Point, and St John’s City to monitor rodent activity. The Board highlighted the crucial role of community cooperation in obtaining precise data. Additionally, CBH expressed gratitude to local businesses, including Perry Bay Supermarket, Townhouse Mega Store, Chase Supermarket, Woods Complex, and those at Judgement Square, for providing spaces for public demonstrations. Deeming the campaign a triumph, CBH announced plans to commence preparations for the next Rodent Awareness Week, slated for 2026.
