A raccoon, mink, and tiger mosquito were mentioned in the context. - These creatures are progressively turning into a menace.
"Complaints about pigeons are a year-round occurrence," Mandy Plickert of Weimar's city council said. These birds are creating problems in Jena and Mühlhausen as well. Local authorities are increasingly turning to managed pigeon lofts to manage the situation.
Rats, with their secretive lifestyles, are less commonly addressed by city councils. In Suhl, for instance, they are the subject of regular pest control efforts.
In Mühlhausen, pest controllers are employed to tackle "hygiene pests." Rat control measures also often involve regulations against feeding, as cat food left out attracts rodents.
Weimar has shifted its approach regarding rats, with Plickert stating, "Killing rats doesn't keep them away in the long term." Instead, the city council hopes to reduce rodent access to food and garbage.
Thuringia's growing raccoon population is causing more issues. Raccoons are now a significant issue in Weimar, Erfurt, and the surrounding areas. While eradication isn't an option, they are still being hunted.

Additionally, the mink, a member of the weasel family, is being spotted with increasing frequency.
