AUDIO: THE RATTIEST CITIES IN THE U.S.
Each year, Orkin pest control lists the “Top 50 Rattiest Cities” list based on the number of new rodent treatments performed between September 2022 and August 2023 on both residential and commercial properties. This year’s winners:
1. Los Angeles
2. Chicago
3. New York
4. Washington, DC
5. San Francisco
6. Philadelphia
7. Baltimore
8. Denver
9. Detroit
10. Cleveland
* Los Angeles wins the rat race!
* Well, I suppose NOT coming in Number 1 in rats would be a good selling point for these other cities’ tourism boards.
* This is actually pretty lousy advertising for Orkin, isn’t it?
* Time to dump more baby alligators into the sewers.
(* Note: Morning Sidekick, as you know, lives in the Denver metro area. Rats never make the local news. Grasshoppers and moths, though…)
* CLIP: “Rats, Billy!” from SCTV.
