Has anyone else noticed a spike in the number of rats running around on sidewalks at night?

    where?

    sometimes events in the neighborhood create an influx of rats. for example if a building is demolished that sends rats scurrying all over a neighborhood.

    Maybe it's just our block but we don't have a rat problem at all, even in our back yard. Where we previously lived in Williamsburg our back yard was a rat zoo. I think we have cleaner neighbors now and there are a lot of cats that live outdoors on our block.

    Because of the warm weather earlier this winter, we've had a bumper crop of kittens. Our neighborhood is infested with kittens. So, no rats

    See, where I live on clinton ave, there is always loose trash on the block so the rats are having a field day. But I also noticed a high # of rats running up and down vander ave and on waverly a couple of weeks ago.

    Hm, that's my general area and I haven't noticed any rats on the street, but I'll keep my eyes peeled.

    The Clinton/Washington C train station...now that place is infested! They are always scurrying around on the platform.
    During the mta strike last year a news crew did an expose of how bad the conditions are that the workers deal with, and they came to our station to show an example of a horrendous rat problem! They opened the door to the trash room and it was a roiling mass of rodents, one of which was some kind of mutant. Maybe there's so many at the station they're going on scouting missions up Clinton ave to see if there's more room at the G train stop.

    wait, isn't it the MTA workers' job to keep the stations clean?
