An explosion of rats in Los Angeles has lead to a surge in cases of Typhus and could pave the way for a public health crisis.
According to Reform California, there have been 124 confirmed cases of Typhus in LA County this year.
On top of the increase in Typhus cases, experts fear the return of a disease that wiped out a third of Europe in the 12th century, the Bubonic Plague.
Though the city has only three confirmed cases of the plague in the past 40 years, the conditions on the streets of LA make it a perfect breeding ground for plague carrying rats.
The reason for such a large influx of rats is largely attributed to the city's increasing homeless population.

Sonic devices would be my choice to eradicate rats and Mice.Technology can both chase them out and kill them.I never liked poisoning domestic animals in an attempt to eliminate the nuisance ones.
The Apocalypse has to start somewhere. LA(aka Hollywood Babylon) just as good as anyplace.
