San Francisco takes home another top 5 trophy! Los Angeles and San Francisco just ranked in top 5 "Rattiest Cities" list in the nation with LA at #2 and SF at #5.
The rankings are measured based on how many new rodent treatments were performed from September 15, 2020, to September 15, 2021, including residential and commercial treatments.
Chicago still holds the #1 spot for the seventh year in a row, Los Angeles is second, New York is third, Washington, D.C. is fourth and San Francisco is in fifth place. Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit, Denver and Cleveland all come next.
“Rodents are experts at sniffing out food and shelter, and they’re resilient in their ways to obtain both. After a year of depleted resources, residential properties offer the ideal habitat for rodents, and once they’ve settled in, they’re capable of reproducing rapidly and in large quantities.” You may want to take precautions now San Franciscans!
