When San Francisco was ranked as the second-most rat-infested city in America in 2024, it came as no surprise to Rich Neumann.
Neumann, who is the founder and CEO of a video tech company, has been dealing with the scourge for years. It has become so bad recently that cars are being gnawed into and businesses have been forced to shutter.
More than 40,000 homes in the city had signs of rats in 2022, and on Neumann's street alone, the damage to cars has cost more than $15,000.
Ive been to SF maybe a dozen times. In the 90s it was iffy but the last time it was horrendous; like a concentration camp with people free to leave. I have no idea why anyone stays.

ReplyDeleteI had rats in my house attic. They would take the bird seed from the feeder I had in the backyard and eat it in the attic. They chewed through my pvc vent stack in the attic for the plumbing. I no longer put bird seed in the yard.

An aside:
The ingredients are shockingly horrid.
Apparently, the glop is only intended as a lure; nobody in their right mind would allow human skin contact.
San Franeedle.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they'll eat the mountains of human shit littering the sidewalks...
ReplyDeleteConsidering the vermin they send to D C it's hard to feel sorry for them.
