The Rat problem in DC is humongous. It’s not just the local Rats but the ones voted in to both houses from outside of DC. You can get rid of all the DC Rats but they would just have there old territory invaded by suburban Rats from Maryland. Your best solution to the DC Rat problem is poison.
It’s going to take a very potent type of poison to get rid of these Rats. From past experience the best Rat poison that I know of is Acme T & L No.1.
Yes, Truth and Light will get rid of any any Rat. They absolutely cannot stand up to the Truth. And, the minute you shine the Light on them they’ll shrivel up and blow away.
RATS CANNOT STAND THE TRUTH OR THE LIGHT. Problem solved.
