One more reason for me to avoid Nashville

(WGHP) — Orkin has published its 2022 list of America’s “Rattiest Cities,” highlighting 50 U.S. metro areas where residents might be more likely to find themselves face-to-face with vermin.

Man, I've lived in rural, suburban and urban areas before and with the exception of when I did day labor at a grainary, I can probably count the number of times I've actually seen a rat on the fingers of one hand.

    The rats in India : "Relax, I may be huge, but I'm mellow."
    The rats in Singapore : "I may be small, but I will cut you, man."

    I can tell you exactly why CLE OH moved up two places: illegals. In the neighborhoods they now occupy, what was once a low income area is now a low income area filled with garbage. The landlords put extra garbage cans out, but the illegals still just throw their garbage on the ground. Impossible to mow without first picking up the trash so no mowing. A typical section 8 landlord owns hundreds of properties. Not only is he equipped with big lawyers, he's a big Dem donor in a 99% Dem run city so no fines. The illegals turn any area into clones of the countries they come from.

    Rat's don't bother me nearly as much as roaches and bedbugs. At least you can shoot a rat.

      And BEDBUGS are damned near IMPOSSIBLE to get rid of! If you stay in a hotel... even a NICE hotel, keep bring only the luggage you NEED into the room, and keep that in the BATHTUB! Otherwise you stand an excellent chance of bringing home an enduring souvenir of your trip!

    Years ago an open field in my neighborhood was developed into a public storage facility. Suddenly, we had a rat/mouse infestation. Then, the stray cats arrived. We haven't seen a mouse or a rat since. We put out a little food for the strays just to make sure they hang around.

    Well 2.
    Heard a gunshot at dinner in the wardroom one night and there was only one guy with a gun in hand on the ship in Bahrain. Went to the quarterdeck to find that the Petty Officer of the Watch had fired at what he called the most enormous rat he ever saw in his life that was just ankling up the brow in the shipyard.
    the second, oh God were the rats enormous in Portsmouth, England between our hotel and the McD. Probably needed a gun and 2000 rounds at that point.

    I worked at a Radio station located a couple hundred yards from a huge grain storage facility. Since I worked the late shift it was dark when I went to work and every night I would see at least ten rats crossing the road, their red eyes glowing in the dark. And these fucking rats were well-fed from the grainery, some were as big as a dog.

    Ken, was the rat on the one hand enjoying the feast?
