[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not surprising that there are more rodents. There is trash along all of the roads because it’s not picked up anymore. It’s noticeable as soon as you enter the city. There are homeless encampments everywhere surrounded by trash. There are many more dog owners and a certain percentage don’t pick up waste. The winters have been mild. It’s a perfect environment for rats. [/quote] This. The cities had become dirtier overall. DC used to be cleaner, when you turn a city into a skid row, there is no surprise vermin will follow. Also, there must be some structural issues with easy access to sewers for the rats probably. City has to do something about it, starting with some major cleanup. Owners can only do so much. It really takes a city. Also hold garbage companies accountable for spilling the garbage during pickup and not cleaning up. We had this happen in front of our row house numerous times, it's public property, not ours to clean, they just throw the bags and if something spills, nobody picks up. [/quote]
