The rats were winning.
There were so many earlier this summer outside the CalEPA building in downtown Sacramento officials had to close its outdoor playground out of fear state employees kids would catch rodent-borne diseases.
To fight back, building officials set out a controversial type of rat poison whose use may soon be banned statewide by the California Legislature. The poison didnt stay out very long once word got out the states top environmental regulators were using a poison widely condemned by Californias powerful environmental groups.
Effective immediately, Im putting a moratorium on the use of rodenticides around the 1001 I Street Building, CalEPA agency undersecretary Serena McIlwain said on June 19 in an email to staffers. We will continue to monitor the situation daily and will work aggressively to find effective, less toxic alternatives.

The Left as a collective have gone insane and I mean that literally.
The Dems are banning rat control poisons because THEY ARE AFRAID THE PEOPLE WILL USE IT AGAINST THE REAL RATS, THEM!
Lets be careful how we talk about rats. 3/4s of our elected representatives are rats. They are either or are carrying/ spreading the disease of leftism. Heck so are our judges. We may have to poison them with lead, sulphur, and saltpeter with some charcoal.
What the hell-doesn’t animal friendly Peta-worshiping Cali have any cats in their animal shelters that could be fed by city workers so they would stay around and kill rats? Or what about a rodent specific poison so the cats and other predators would not be harmed-the exterminators in the nearest big town advertise one.
The kitties in this rural area keep the rat/mouse population well in check-everyone has a cat or 3 that are either strictly indoor or indoor/outdoor pets, and there are a few feral cats around that get fed for their work as well. My spoiled indoor cats don’t let a living rodent get past the door to the outdoor storeroom-or a lizard or bug for that matter...
I don’t comprehend why Cali makes every problem they have into a major disaster in no time at all-you would think living with earthquakes would have taught them to deal with small stuff...
There was a Plague outbreak in 1900-1904 in San Fransisco’s Chinatown.
It was detected early on, but the city fathers simply refused to acknowledge that there could be plague in Their Fair City.
As a result they fiddle-farted around for years before doing anything effectual. Plague spread from the street and sewer rats to the local ground squirrel population and thence now uncontainable, to the entire western US.
Any parallels one may wish to draw to a more recent gayer plague are purely coincidence.
Those who do not learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.
Today, the third lesson is massive quantities of un-screened un-quarantined, untreated, diseased invaders in every city and burg nation wide.
Passing grade is stopping an emerging disease early and well.
Failing grade is death.
Isn’t it absurd that we decent people have to live in a country with people like the lowlife Dems who have taken advantage of our tolerance for them like this?
Having to discuss the pros and cons of methods to face rats, plagues and excrement on the sidewalks because we didn’t do something about the Dems?
I’ve been watching the Frank Capra Why We Fight films on DVD. So many people were late to the party figuring out how evil the evil ones were. Same with people versus Dems (Socialists/Commies)..
Rats do have natural predators. I’m not sure the city council would be all that comfortable with importing a few packs of coyotes but if they wait long enough, the coyotes will come. Ah, nature.
I learned from your post and salute you for how well written it was.
No. The parents have to pay. The state agencies lease space out to daycare businesses for convenience.
“...putting the little blood suckers to work in a flea circus.”
The CA Legislature has no vacancies at this time.
Thank you. Feel free to steal it.
Democrats protecting rats is professional courtesy.
How incredible and ironic, two-legged RATS defending four-legged rats.
California: no plinkin` but stinkin`
California: no plinkin` but stinkin`
That headline is funny.
Liberals are too stupid for words.
Sucks to be you, California.
And hundred thousand dollar pensions for retired teachers.
We have rats in our neighborhood. And theres no trash anywhere to be found. Old country club neighborhood, lots of fruit trees means lots of food. The rats travel around via the fences and trees. And yes, I poison them. I have little plastic bowls nailed onto a top flat board of the fence that I fill with rat pellets. There are 4 of those bowls around our back yard fence. I hate fin rats. Plenty of cats in the neighborhood but they dont seem to bother the rats. Weve been here 22 years and Ive been fight the rats ever since we moved in.
We also have kit foxes, possums, raccoons, and tons of squirrels. Theres a golf course in the front of our house.
Yep. My post #58
I think that the demacrat party are confused. they heard us referring to rat infested cities and thought we were planning to poison a new voting constituents of there’s. silly democrats rats cant vote...except in demacrat controlled cities.
