Nobody wants to live around rats, yet the top 50 rodent-infested U.S. cities are unsurprisingly mostly Democrat-run cities. So the rats aren’t just dirty little furry creatures with long tails – the rats infest Mayoral chambers across the U.S. as well.
Terminix just released its Top 50 Rodent-Infested U.S. Cities list with no surprises – and they are talking about rats and mice – I interjected the politicians-rat angle. (If only Terminix could rid California of the worst political rats…)
“The cities with the most rats and mice are usually determined by factors such as sanitation practices, food waste access, and suitable habitats,” Terminix says. “These rodents can cause significant property damage and can be a serious public health concern in many urban areas.”
No Californian will be surprised that California has 7 cities in this lofty list of Rattus norvegicus: San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Sacramento, Palm Springs, San Diego, Fresno, and Monterey.
“Terminix shares the 50 cities with the most rats and mice across the United States in 2023. Utilizing data from over 300 Terminix branches nationwide, we compiled a list of cities where residents utilized rodent control services most frequently in 2023 within our designated service areas.”
