[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Better, harsher abatement is necessary.  A team of rat dogs and a couple of handlers can clear a block in a night.  [/quote]

This.

A Ratter team (handler and 3-4 trained Jack Russel terriers) can kill HUNDREDS of rats a night.

Also, branch out.. More natural predators of rats.  Owls, hawks, falcons, rat snakes (harmless to people but voracious when it comes to rats), etc. [/quote]

These aren't city animals from what I understand, cats and dogs are.  But people would have a fit if we get stray dogs and cats running around, also a lot of them would get killed by cars, especially dogs.  I think a combo of trained bird and rat-terrier teams for more aggressive cleanup and a few neutered/spayed feral cats for routine maintenance should make a difference.  But finding out the problem where they nest and breed and hide would go a long way too.  Problem is city isn't doing anything to hire professionals to investigate the problem. [/quote]
