Unintended consequences - rats in Baltimore

| No Comments

Shut down the restaurants and it trickles all the way down the food chain - from the Baltimore, MD ABC affiliate:

Exterminator says he's receiving more house calls for rodent infestation since stay-at-home order was announced
Frank Simms has been busy responding to residential homes and apartments for rodent control. The owner of Q Pest Control says rats in particular are on the move.

"There’s less trash in restaurant dumpsters," said Simms. "They're going to be looking for easy meals. So they’re going into people trash cans, especially the trash cans that don’t have any lids on."

A prime example of what rodents are attracted to was in an alleyway near E. Baltimore Street and E. Conklin Street.

"This is what rodents are looking for," said Simms. "More people are staying home so they're producing more trash."

It is getting warm enough to where fleas are a problem - Bubonic Plague on top of the Wuhan Flu? Glad I do not live in a city.
