Patch ^ | 10/16/2018 | Deb Pelt

BALTIMORE, MD – Charm City is once again among America's "Rattiest Cities," according to a new report from pest control company Orkin, although it has shown progress in each of the past two years. Baltimore comes in at No. 9 on the company's 2018 rankings released Monday.

This is the fourth year that Orkin has compiled the rankings, which are based on the number of rodent treatments the company performed from Sept. 15, 2017 to Sept. 15, 2018. It includes both residential and commercial treatments.

Baltimore dropped one slot from last year, when it was ranked eighth; two years ago it was No. 6 on the Orkin list. The city has undertaken several rat control measures, including the issuance of municipal garbage cans to contain waste.

For the fourth year in a row, Chicago was No. 1 on the list.

Here are the 10 "Rattiest Cities" in the U.S. for 2018, according to Orkin:

1.Chicago 2.Los Angeles 3.New York 4.Washington, DC 5.San Francisco 6.Detroit 7.Philadelphia 8.Cleveland 9.Baltimore 10.Denver

"1.Chicago 2.Los Angeles 3.New York 4.Washington, DC 5.San Francisco 6.Detroit 7.Philadelphia 8.Cleveland 9.Baltimore 10.Denver"

Yep! The usual suspects... That list would have been essentially the same 50-years ago... Although Denver, to me, is a surprise... Probably on the list due to the leaky southern border and pot smokers...

Funny how Trump always knows the truth and makes sure everyone does as well.

Shouldn’t the rat rating be by density (treatments per square mile)?

You can get the entire list of the top cities here:

In spot checking they all looked like DemocRAT cities. I did check Raleigh-Durham and the mayor is “independent” (aka DemocRAT).

So, it was not a gratuitous assertion? Not a racist insult?

I live in rural Texas. At the local feed store they sell “just one bite”. This crap is very potent, you must buy the 10 pack box. You can’t touch it whatsoever. In the country out here I worry about my outside cats or dogs eating one I kill in distress because thankfully it hasn’t happened but I think they’d be dead too. Fact is out here when you have a lot of feed for all the animals it draws field rats and mice.
Fact is if I lived in NYC or Baltimore, I’d surely use “just one bite” because up there most of the cats and dogs are feral too. so so be it.

What I thought, although I was not sure (though the rest are liberal-run) if Cleveland was liberal-run.
