Baltimore's rat problem is bad enough that at one point, rats tunneled so intensely beneath a particular area of pavement that when garbage collectors drove over it, their truck sunk up to its axles. Rats in the vicinity took full advantage of the mishap and swarmed the truck, gorging on the garbage inside.

This unending evidence will swamp Democrats and expose them.
Rat poison might be outlawed in California. I kid you not. A dead mountain lion was found in the mountains north of Los Angeles. He had rat poison in his system because he ate some rats.

Video?
In DC the liberals want you to capture them and release them out in the wild; in Ohio it’s against the law to shoot them in your own cellar/basement.
i read that in Baltimore what did not kill the rats made them stronger, more reproductive
Shadoobie!
I lived in Boston’s Back Bay for years. I’d ride my bike through the alleys as it was much faster to get from point A to point B.
There are so many restaurants along Boylston street and Newbury street you cant keep track of them all. These two street ran parallel to each other with an alley in the middle. All of these restaurants had dumpsters wide open with garbage spilling out 24/7. I was there for years and this was perfectly normal. No one ever did anything about it.
There was one section with dumpsters lined along the entire alley of the block. It got so bad I would not ride my bike down that alley.
A friend of mine in the extermination business told me a lot of effective poisons and others methods of killing these things off have now been banned. He claimed if the over the top rules continued he’d be fighting rats as they did in the 19th century.
Once when OI was flying down an alley a rat was running along side the curb of the alley keeping pace with me. I looked down and saw the thing - it was huge. Then he damned thing ran under my bike and my back tire went over him. I just kept on going. A bit later I returned using the same route. There was no indication of that rat being killed by my running him over. I weigh a bit over 250 pounds, the bike would be about 30 pounds - yet it had not died when I ran it over.
Boston has become a frantic, tension filled, expensive zoo in recent years. Pretty sad as it is my home but UI have been gone from there awhile now.
Thought the same thing.
Will not believe that bit of city folk lore unless I see footage.
I still can’t see the perhaps greatest lovers of animals - Animal Planet - lying about animals.
Animal Planet:
Lying racists?
Bring in all the terriers you find.There are plenty of videos that show how effective they are at killing rats.They’d have the time of their life doing it too.
Like the alien “bug” in Men in Black didn’t want them killing roaches, the DemocRATS don’t want you killing the little furry variety. . . .
What type of terriers are best for killing rats? Do they mostly bite them on the neck and move on? Or some other method?
Shoot, shovel, shut-up.
I have two. Rat terriers. I don’t think either of them has killed anything rodent but then one is a 9 yo that I just got from a shelter.
