Descrição

Entrances to rat dens in rear of building were covered over last week when alley behind building was bricked and repaved leaving those out of den w nowhere to go. Rats seen by neighbors and tenants of 2147 O St. at front door, running in front & side yard, on sidewalk, under bushes and in tall grasses on sides of building. Even seen on 1st floor window ledge trying to get in building under air conditioners. One evening just after dusk (Thursday October 20) there were 15-20 rats just outside front door impeding entry and egress. Ultimately they dug a burrow under bushes in front yard to left of front door as you face the building. Entry to burrow can be easily seen when entering building. They are very active and seen in daytime as well and are not afraid of people at all. We previously had multiple poison boxes surrounding the building but they have been removed over recent months due to work being done on outside of building and by city in alley. None have been replaced, leaving rats unchallenged and multiplying.
