Rats in the Big Apple are gnawing their way to the top!
New York City came in at No. 3 on a list of “America’s Rattiest Cities” — fueled in part by restaurant closures amid the coronavirus crisis.
Only Los Angeles and Chicago ranked worse in food-scrap-starved rats running wild, according to a report from the pest control company Orkin.
“The pandemic-driven closure of restaurants forced rodents to find new food sources. Without food waste to consume, these pests were seen scavenging new areas and exhibiting unusual or aggressive behavior,” the company said in a press release.
To determine which cities were most infested with the filthy furballs, the company reviewed the number of new rodent treatments administered in residential and commercial buildings over the past year.
Washington, DC, came in just after the Big Apple, ranking fourth-worst, followed by San Francisco and Detroit.
It was the third year in a row perpetually rat-plagued New York City came in at No. 3, while Chicago was ranked first for the sixth consecutive year.
A spokeswoman for the city said a strong effort is underway to kill off rodents in the Big Apple.

With help from the tall dummy running the rat hole, the self described best governor ever has saved more rat lives than any governor. Word on the street is he will do a follow up book on his successes.
