Baltimore No. 6 On List of “Rattiest Cities”

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Whether you like it or not, Baltimore has been awarded number six in a list of “Top 50 Rattiest Cities” released by pest control company Orkin.

Charm City has a history of rats, with many people displaying their city pride with t-shirts and bumper stickers featuring a rat. And while many have embraced the rodent as part of Baltimore’s cityscape, others find them unsightly and a nuisance.

Orkin released its Top 50 Rattiest Cities list, with Chicago topping the list again, after previously ranking first in 2014. The Midwest region had the greatest number of cities on the list, with 13 in the top 50.

Washington, DC, New York, took the second and third spots, respectively, and Philadelphia follows Baltimore at number seven.

People would take fishing poles and go fishing for rats..drive in the ghetto areas and you'll see them smashed all over the street. I blame the trash service.I lived there a few years back and they drop garbage all over the street and the sewers are filled with garbage.Also a lot of the city dwellers are filthy trash that don't clean thier yards and homes or even try to get rid of the rats.They've become immune to them, same with roaches there.
