D.C.'s initiatives focus on improving how the District, businesses and residents manage what rats love: all that delicious trash.

I recommend a tactical nuke under the Capitol Dome.
They need some large, conservative cats!
Somewhere I heard that an enterprising fellow had turned pizza boxes into rat traps.
Anyone else heard about this project?
Oh, the puns write themselves!
My solution? Trail wads of cash everywhere you go in DC. When you have enough following, throw it in the Anacostia River.

LOL. I came to this thread for the comments. LOL
Well we have slowly been voting them out of office.
Have uniformed patrols of Jack Russell Terriers.
You know why they haven’t done anything about this problem? PROFESSIONAL COURTESY.
Until I saw the picture,I wasn’t sure which type of rodent it was talking about. The one pictured is probably the least dangerous type there is.
This is nothing more than a clarion call for more money to be given to the city, which will immediately be pissed away on endeavors unrelated to the issue it was intended for.
The two legged DC Rats cause a whole lot more damage than their smaller 4 legged cousins.
Offer 5 bucks for each dead rat. A trial run for CWII.
Yes, but as we have seen, they leave office but they don't leave DC.
As for controlling trash, just shut down WAPO and most of the garbage these rats feed on will be eliminated.
Birds of a feather...
Have they considered feral kitties?
I thought that the Venzuelian ‘Rat Party was diminishing in numbers.
That Rat looks just like Holder. Maybe a close relative.
Some friends and I were sitting on a bench in Pershing Park which is near the Willard Hotel one night last summer. In just a couple of minutes, we saw probably 50 rats running around the park. I’ve always seen rats at night in DC, but this was like a horror movie.
It's definitely a frightening sight, even during the day...
