There is an active rat den under this Cambridge Housing Authority storage container. I've seen rats coming and going out of both ends in the past week. Cement and wood were previously put down around the base, presumably to keep rats out, but the cementing and boarding need to be redone. CHA uses poison to kill rats and I've found 3 dead rats within 100 feet on the sidewalk in the past 2 weeks. I also found a red tailed hawk unable to fly within 100 feet of this container. I got the hawk to Tufts Vet. Clinic and they confirmed severe rodenticide poisoning (from feeding on poisoned rats). It would be much more effective and much less dangerous to wildlife and pets if the den were effectively sealed off rather than continuing to poison a portion of the rats that venture out.
