Any 'rat problem' neighborhoods in CC/Bethesda?

[Anonymous]

Wyngate neighborhood person here- but lots of foxes around Bradley hills etc. I’ve never seen a rat in the Wildwood shopping center or any restaurant area in either downtown Bethesda or Rockville. But lots of other wildlife!

I don't understand why we can't find a way to mitigate these populations. I mean, besides covered trashcans and sanitation crews, which DC could use lots more of. Isn't there a way to spay them?

Let me just track what you’re saying here you want to catch the rats alive and then do surgery on them and then release them?

I was thinking of something they could ingest that would sterilize them

This has actually been in the works for a few years, but I’m not sure why it hasn’t taken off (maybe it’s not been successful)?
