Salty, do you believe that someone was dumb enough to imply that if only cities had GOP mayors there would be less of a rat problem?
As if the GOP is the home of pied pipers or that they would spend the money to hire even more Orkin people.
Not having the fundamental understanding of the history of cities and rats all the way back to the middle ages, at least, is really the mark of a shit education and a degree of stupidity that should embarrass this or an other board.
Do YOU know of any SC politician who has campaigned on a platform promising to eradicate rat problems in any city in the State?
I mean whoever had the answer to that would seem to have a clear advantage over someone who didn't have an answer, right?
You really should look at cleaning up the kind of dumbness represented in that post, for everybody's sake.

Meet your average city rats: Rattus rattus and Rattus norvegicus. These rats live pretty much wherever we do. Especially in cities. Take New York City, for example. We don't know exactly how many rats call the Big Apple home. But a 2014 study gave a ballpark estimate of 2 million rats.

That means for heavily-infested areas you could have several rats per person! And in some ways, rats are better suited for living in cities than people. They can climb brick walls, "tightrope walk" over telephone cables, and their incisors grow 14 inches a year. Which lets them gnaw into anything — including everywhere you don't want them.
But their most powerful ability? Rats are clever. Too clever. Scientists have shown that rats can learn to use tools. And when offered the choice between a chocolate and freeing a trapped friend. Rats chose to free their friend over chocolate!
Translate those smarts to the real world and rats easily avoid traps. Trying to poison them won't help much either. Rats are extremely patient when it comes to new foods. They'll taste just a tiny portion at first, wait to see if that food makes them sick and only then, consume the rest if it's safe.
This is called "delayed learning" and it's why rats are notoriously difficult to poison. Plus, they can develop resistance to many poisons over time so even outwitting them might not work in the long run.
