If you’ve ever wondered which are the most rat infested cities in the USA, wonder no longer.
The Windy City, aka Second City, is famous for deep dish, cold winter, and miserable sports franchises. Now they can add one more moniker to their long list of nicknames: the Rat City
The pest control company Orkin has released data on the 20 most rat infested cities in the United States and Chicago comes in at #1. Shockingly NYC doesn’t ring in until #4, sitting behind D.C. (#3) and Los Angeles (#2).
If this were a straight up eye test I’d call shenanigans on Orkin, because I see massive rats jetting across my sidewalk every single night when I’m out walking my dog, and I just spent about 4 days in D.C. and didn’t see a single damn rat. But this is not an eye test, this is a collection of the dirtiest, grimiest, most rat infested cities in the USA. Here they are…
