NBC: The rat race is real in Philadelphia, which has the dubious honor of containing the most U.S. households infested with rodents.
Almost 20 percent of homes in the City of Brotherly love contain the unwanted critters, topping Boston, New York and Washington, D.C., according to a recent American Housing Survey of 25 metropolitan areas.
While the Northeast corridor is hit hard by rodents – no thanks to crowded urban centers – the East Coast fares better than the South when it comes to cockroaches. Those pests are partial to warm climates and prefer living in New Orleans, Houston, Miami and Atlanta, according to the survey.
Clean them out of City Hall for a start.
RATS! Can anyone say Willard?
That’s what they get for not hiring me.
Interesting they went to weather as a major factor of where they are.
Nonsense.
They are wherever man is. They are comensal, specifically, they eat from our plate – fellow diners.
They are not natural to America. They came from Europe on the ships over the centuries.
Wherever we are – so are they.
There’s quite an infestation in DC as well.
Rats … yeah, and demonRats.
The Rattus-type of Rat are much more congenial, less destructive to America, and think more clearly – better citizens, all around.
