Yle seeks reports of rats in Finnish neighbourhoods

Yle is asking people to report rats in their neighbourhoods for an article about the animals. The number of rats peaks at the end of summer.

Yle wants to hear whether rats have appeared in your area this year, whether their numbers have increased, whether they have caused problems and whether you have photographs of them. You can contact journalist Heikki Ali-Hokka at [email protected].

Yle says the information will not be shared outside its newsroom, and only the journalists working on the article will process personal data. The broadcaster will contact respondents before using their answers.
