what if the homeowner just cleaned THAT particular entry way, and the rest of the house is in a shambles, you mean they still pass it up..?? without a full viewing of each and every room, including the basement...??

It's a port city, they are Norway Rats. If you've never seen one the size can be a shock, think house cat. They usually aren't around in daylight, but I remember watching a postman dance as one got encountered at the top of a brownstone stoop and they were trying to get around each other, the rat went through the postman's legs and down and gone, very quickly it wasn't there. It was probably 35-40 pounds of rodent.
One night I was on my way up to some forgotten chick's apartment on Columbus and passed a vacant lot with hundreds of them milling around in the moonlight. It made me reconsider the balance of power in the natural world.
Part of it is that cities are kind of stupid at certain things, and one of them is putting all the garbage (food) in big piles in one place.
But the OP is really dog-whistling, no mention of Queens --where a certain person comes from-- likely having the same issues.mjd4277, FlaSwampRat and buddyd157 Thank this. -
I saw a rat in Brooklyn once that could have probably kicked a raccoon’s ###. Only rat I’ve ever seen that was bigger was Splinter
rabbiporkchop, LoneRanger, mjd4277 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Glad to be an Albertan. We don't take to kindly to those buggers round these parts:
