In New York City, our rat problems are so badass that we need scientists to study them and the health department’s senior researcher, Robert Corrigan, has made some frighteningly common sense findings about their infestation in the transit system:
1.) They like trash. 2.) They tend to live in the walls of the rooms where the MTA stores their trash. 3.) These trash rooms just so happen to be located on subway platforms.
Corrigan sums up their existence with neck-hair raising imagery: “They’re not down in that deep dark tunnel … the rats are living in the walls behind that tile.” |AP|
I just wrote about this too – my favorite was the quote from the guy who basically said we need to just give up trying to fight them. I tend to agree.
i've just recently seen this same scenario where rats overtook those big black trash "storers" on the platform and it was in the middle of the day *gasp* (seems like these rats are getting bolder each year)… mta really needs to fix it because its getting really disgusting
This is why we need more stray cats.
I think that the rats have the biggest number of topics on this website. Go rats, go!
