Chicago is the six-time holder of a title that no city wants.
The Windy City has topped the list of the rattiest cities in the United States for the sixth year in a row.
Orkin, an Atlanta-based pest control service, ranks US cities based on the number of new rodent treatments from September 1 to August 31 of each year. The result is a list of 50 cities, with most changing spots each time the list is updated. Chicago, however, is still No. 1
"Rodents are experts at sniffing out food and shelter, and they're resilient in their ways to obtain both," Ben Hottel, an Orkin entomologist, said in the company's press release. "Residential properties offer the ideal habitat for rodents, and once they've settled in, they're capable of reproducing rapidly and in large quantities."
Efforts to tame the city's rat population have been going on for years. Chicago's "war on rats" escalated with the introduction of a new rat task force back in 2016. Residents had even begun adopting cats to squash their numbers.
Rounding out the top 10 on Orkin's list were Los Angeles, New York, Washington, DC, San Francisco, Detroit, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Denver and Minneapolis.
How the pandemic has exacerbated rat populations Statewide mandates to stay at home and close businesses haven't just affected the human population, according to Orkin.

The modern American city may as well have been nuked by our enemies and the result is the typical DNC sh*thole. The voters seem to really like living in sh*t thinking it is flowers and vote for more yet conveniently blame it on others when the sight and smell isn’t so sweet post election.
Indeed, Rat cities top the rat problem list.
Surprise, surprise.
No surprise - It’s run by the ‘Rats.
Rats winning in Chicago.
Also the trash on the side of the highways in this town is at an all time high
