You mean if you leave trash everywhere and let your properties get overgrown that rodents move in? Color me shocked!!!
Also, they must have never seen New Orleans rats. Since they have been working on the steam system in the CBD I have seen cat like rats almost every morning.

22 inches? I thought they measured everything in Canadian?

Pest control is a relatively straightforward issue - rats/mice thrive in urban areas because there are fewer natural predators (humans are batshit crazy about killing snakes and predatory birds don't like cities), so, other than cats, they can pretty much thrive to the limits of available food.
People would have died of shock if they had seen the rat population in the quarter during lockdown. They took over.

There are restaurants there more or less continuously operating for over 300 years in the same place. They're in the triple digits of generations of rats who have never left the premises.

Apparently David Bowie had foreseen London’s future 50 years ago:
quote:
And in the death As the last few corpses lay rotting on the slimy thoroughfare The shutters lifted in inches in Temperance Building High on Poacher's Hill And red, mutant eyes gaze down on Hunger City No more big wheels
Fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats And ten thousand peoploids split into small tribes Coverting the highest of the sterile skyscrapers Like packs of dogs assaulting the glass fronts of Love-Me Avenue Ripping and rewrapping mink and shiny silver fox, now legwarmers Family badge of sapphire and cracked emerald Any day now The Year of the Diamond Dogs
This ain't Rock'n'Roll
This is Genocide
-David Bowie, Future Legend, 1974

I question the accuracy of this story given that length is typically in metric units in tge UK, but no doubt it appears big

I thought a cat had been hit by a car at Chartes and Gov. Nicholls (next to what was then Stella Maris), but when I saw the tail, I knew it was a rat.
Isn't England the country that likes Rat Terriers as pets?

Is this England's version of Section 8? I have heard the term "council homes" and never understood it really.

It's called a nutria.
