Rat Problem? You’re Not Alone in Atlanta
Decatur Metro | October 28, 2009There are few things more embarrassing to bring up in conversation with friends – or enemies for that matter – than your “rat problem”.
As you retell your harrowing tale of found “droppings” and gnawed cereal boxes, faces cringe and tuck into shoulders. (You’re cringing right now, aren’t you?) Yes, I speak from personal experience.
Well, here in Atlanta you can at least take a bit of solace that you are not alone. A 2008 d-Con “Rodent Risk Report” ranks Atlanta second only to NYC among U.S. cities in terms of “rodent risk”.
Regardless of the self-serving aspects of d-Con producing a report like this, it’s quite surprising to see sprawled out Atlanta up at number 2. But apparently the warm climate and higher-than-average foreclosure rate overcomes our general spaciousness and brings us one step closer to our goal of being the true “NYC of the South”.
