My son had a rat problem at his old house. His absentee landlord
neighbour had a big pile of crap in his back yard and there were signs
of rats in it. My son called the city to complain and they made the guy
clean up the pile. That left the rats with nowhere to live, so some of
them moved into his place. In a short time they made a hell of a mess,
getting into his cupboards and chewing holes in the drywall. He had to
call an exterminator. The city had a program to cover most of the cost
of the exterminator.
