Here in Chicago the city puts rat poison out

It's not just the east end. Barrhaven is full of them! They have made it into my house and chewed thru sooo much stuff. I have so many pics

[@nototyranny2719]

And I bet you the city does nothing to help just like where I live and I keep my yard spotless had to buy some high end traps to deal with them

Basically what he saying is they're not going to do anything he jumped all over and passed the subject that she asked him 🙄 it's sad that he don't have them but he's think it's all right that other people have to deal with the development and infestation the longer you wait the worse it gets

It's weird how people know when babies are being born in abundance, gets me thinking if it's a set plan by governments

Squirrels as well. The city is infested.

In New York City, the Upper East Side is using a more humane method than poison pellets. The rats tend to live in the tree pits that are every few feet on the streets. They are using carbon monoxide in the nests, and there has been a huge reduction in the population. Normally, I think we should coexist with wildlife, but as there is such an overpopulation of the rats and relocating is likely difficult, to reduce the possibility of spread of disease this might be something to look into.

This city is falling apart fast.

rat city

Pest control companies will charge you an arm and a leg for a visit/treatment. Then the rodenticide they use is regulated and only sold to licensed business. Meanwhile, 45 minutes South of Ottawa in the land of the free, you can buy 18lbs of bait for the cost of one visit. Then CBSA only allows 500g to be imported without a license as personal use amount 🤬🤬🤬
