HELSINKI Nike Presto Haute Pas Cher , Sept. 18 (Xinhua) -- While automobiles may have excellent protection against thieves, rats can find a way to get in through the chasis, media reported on Monday.
Jouni Siltala, technical chief at the pest control company Rentokil, told newspaper Helsingin Sanomat that rats have penetrated cars and tired to make a nest in the car.
Siltala speculated that rats have found a route via the engine space. "This has happened in open air parking lots where holes of rats are in the vicinity."
Researcher Otso Huiti at the Finnish Natural Resources Centre told Helsingin Sanomat that the warm winters of recent years have helped the rat population grow in Finnish cities.
In Helsinki Nike Presto Fleece Pas Cher , the eradication directed in recent years against rabbits has benefited the rats. The rats have often occupied the holes inhabited earlier by the rabbits.
The Finnish Natural Resources Centre is trying to assess the size of the rat population. Huiti noted that the "city ecology" of rats is not much researched. "Scientists have rather concentrated on ways of killing the rats," he said.
Last winter rats managed to occupy the parkette outside the National Theatre and the statue of Finnish writer Aleksis Kivi. The area has been since under special observation.
Biologist Raimo Pakarinen at the city of Helsinki declined to describe the rats as aggressive. "They are not any more aggressive than ducks or seagulls approaching a person in the hope of getting food."
Pakarinen said that the movements of rats could be observed through GPS-gadgets attached to them, but the signals of equipment may not penetrate the structures in the city's sewage system, he said.

MANILA, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) -- The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Tuesday that Cambodia and Laos have eliminated trachoma, an ancient blinding disease.
In a news statement, Shin Young-soo, WHO regional director for the Western Pacific Nike Presto Essential Pas Cher , congratulated the two Southeast Asian countries for successfully eliminating trachoma as a public health problem.
Shin called trachoma "a disease of poverty," adding that communities that do not have good access to safe water and sanitation are the hardest hit.
"But it is possible to tackle this public health problem, as Cambodia and Laos have done, by making the right investments to protect peoples' health," Shin said in a statement.
Trachoma has been a health problem in Cambodia since the 1990s and in Laos since the 1970s.
Cambodia and Laos are the first countries in the WHO Western Pacific region to be validated as having achieved elimination of trachoma as a public health problem Nike Presto BR Pas Cher , WHO said.
Trachoma, an eye disease caused by infection with Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria, is the leading infectious cause of blindness worldwide, according to a WHO statement.
It said infection is spread through contact with discharge from the eyes and nose of an infected person, particularly young children.
It is spread by flies which have been in contact with the eyes and noses of infected people Nike Presto Blanche Pas Cher , the statement read. "Transmission of the infection is closely linked with poor sanitation and hygiene," it said.
