[quote=Anonymous][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.

Ok, all of these are great suggestions, but what can we do to force city to do something?  And because everything is so controlled, I doubt that it would be ok for some random home owner to bring a team of trained dogs or cats or falcons and unleash them without some neighbors complaining and owners getting fined.  We should have the city pay for this and hire professionals.

We kill so many feral cats in shelters, they are not easily adoptable, and they get neutered/spayed and released.  Why not get some of them into the cities? They can co-exist with us like they always did and do in many places.  Falcons and trained dogs would be on demand (as they require trained supervision), and cats would be to do maintenance work while we sleep  :wink: . [/quote]

Yes, what can we do? I remember years ago when we lived in Dupont we had the city come out multiple times..the rat people came.out.in space suits and basically said there was nothing they could do. Errr, Ok...[/quote]

"what can we do?"

Email your ANC and your Councilmembers to demand rat abatement through ratter teams instead of the less harsh methods we employ today. [/quote]
