Reporting of rats
Rats transmit infectious diseases and are combated as "health pests" in accordance with infection control legislation. We accept reports in this regard.
Description
Rats transmit infectious diseases and are therefore treated as "pests of health" in accordance with infection control legislation.
Owners or authorised users of properties and areas where rats occur are required - regardless of the origin of the animals - to carry out suitable control measures or have them carried out by specialist companies.
In the case of public properties under the administration of the City of Munich, the relevant specialist departments of the city administration are notified internally and then commission suitable specialist companies.
Required documents
In the case of reports, the data of the person making the report (name, callback number during the day) and, if possible, precise details of the place and time of the observations are required
Questions & Answers
Can neglected or littered properties also be reported?
Neglected or littered private properties can be reported by e-mail to abfallrecht.rku@muenchen.de. Contamination and waste on municipal property should be reported via the Rein & Sauber service telephone 089 - 233 96296 or by e-mail to strassenunterhalt.bau@muenchen.de.
Can infestations caused by other rodents such as mice be reported?
No, only reports of rat infestations are accepted.
How do I dispose of my waste correctly?
Only dispose of waste in the designated waste bins - never next to them. Store rubbish bags with food waste or unclean packaging out of reach of rats until the regular collection. Always keep waste bins tightly closed. Have defective waste bins repaired or replaced. Compost bins in the garden should also be kept closed if necessary.
How do I dispose of food waste?
Dispose of food waste in the organic waste bin, not in the compost or toilet.
What should I bear in mind when feeding (domestic) animals?
Do not leave food sources intended for pets open unchecked. Pay attention to hygiene and cleanliness in your living environment. Do not feed animals in parks, green spaces or public places (especially pigeons, ducks or squirrels). Any leftovers are a favourite food for rats.
