San Fran Nan and Schmucky Schumer are definitely RATS, but they’re hardly geniuses!

There must be an overabundance of feral cats somewhere.

The neighborhood with the highest number of complaints in 2017 was Petworth, followed by Columbia Heights, Capitol Hill, Near Northeast, 16th Street Heights, Logan Circle, Park View, U Street and Shaw. Complaints in those neighborhoods represented about 43 percent of the complaints lodged last year.

From 2016 to 2017, those neighborhoods saw between a 25 percent to 74 percent increase in rodent complaints. This year, they are on pace to see a repeat or increase in the number.

A big spike in year to year complaints suggests an organized effort by residents to organize and demand city action. FWIW, the neighborhoods listed comprise the bulk of Victorian era, brick row house Washington. They are older neighborhoods, very compact and densely populated. Think Victorian and federal style rowhouses of varying elegance and price points, tree lined streets, alleys and garages with modern midrise redevelopment crashing in along main streets and especially along metro corridors. Gentrification in Capitol Hill and Logan Circle is nearly complete, with a few pockets left to go, but the other neighborhoods listed are in the middle of very dramatic and rapid change. They are all going upscale fast. My guess is that the new residents are getting mobilized.

“With their numbers on the rise, DC now trails New York and Los Angeles for its rat population, the Associated Press reported...”

Funny, the democrat population is directly proportional to the rat population.

'Genius' Rats Are Wreaking Havoc on Washington, DC ---

(CNSNews.com) Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli says he is worried that a new District of Columbia law that governs how pest control operators must handle rats may result in entire rodent “families” being relocated across the Potomac River into Virginia by D.C. pest control personnel. Lately, there have been reports of growing rat infestations around the Occupy DC protests at Freedom Plaza and McPherson Square. Cuccinelli said D.C.'s new rat law--the Wildlife Protection Act of 2010 (Wildlife Protection Act of 2010.pdf) --is “crazier than fiction” because it requires that rats and other vermin not be killed but captured, preferably in families; no glue or snap traps can be utilized; the rodents must be relocated from where they are captured; and some of these animals may need to be transferred to a “wildlife rehabilitator” as part of their relocation process....

Still love that little animation. Brings to me a sense of Autumn.

There are a lot of rats trying cross the Mexican border.

Air rifles with night vision scopes. I’ve seen YouTube videos and it looks like great fun.

Not sure I’d pay for a hunting trip to DC but I bet there would be folks that would help them out if allowed.

A while back wasn’t there some org like PETA or something that had this bill passed you couldn’t kill rats? You had to capture and release into the wild or something.
