Another Rat Infested Shithole
- An award-winning community garden in the booming West Loop is chock-full of vegetables, herbs, sunflowers — and rats.
The rats have overrun the garden, neighbors say. Videos of two rats — climbing the stalks of the sunflowers and dangling from the head of the plants — drew hundreds of comments after they were posted on neighborhood Facebook pages this week.
“This is a big problem for an otherwise clean neighborhood, one that gets national and worldwide attention because of its restaurant and burgeoning tech scene,” said Craig Isbell, who has lived in the West Loop for the past two decades and called the garden an “eyesore.”
You know what gets rid of rats? Poison. But that would be cruel according to some tree-huggers, so the city uses dry ice in a feeble attempt to suffocate the rats "humanely." Time for something a bit stronger.

Lil groot needs a kick in her over sized suit pants. Lil hateful bitch!
You sometimes so silly, SCC!!!!
What gets rid of rats???
Why, CATS!!!!
Save the poison for the two legged rats!!!
And save that other method you implied for ditto dat!!!
There will always be rats, bucko, to feed the CATS!!!!
As for them nasty pit bulls those two legged rats seem so fond of, well, that's what 00 buckshot is for!!!!
So, c'mon, gardeners of the ghetto!!!!
Take mindful care of your wild CATS!!!
Take effective actions upon your two legged rats and their trained to be nasty pit bulls!!!!
Tend your gardens as if you had no means to eat but what your gardens produce.
And, ffs, pick up your garbage, do not shit where you eat, try to be who you complain others are not.
Groot is already putting Chicago back in the national spotlight!

GO GROOT GO! Get Chicago the attention it deserves.
Traps work too.
Try different methods.
It is hard to dethrone the king... Perhaps Chicago can't compete with Baltimore to earn a global shout out for being rat infested?
"Baltimore was also in Orkin’s list of Top Ten “Rattiest Cities” announced in 2018, along with Washington, D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit, and New York City."

Seems most rat issues Chicago suffers from are from the human size ones... the random corrupt Aldermen!
It'll be very funny when Rickey The Rotund Rodent
after having nibbled a poison food pellet, kicks
the bucket inside the walls of one of these downtown
liberal progtard's million dollar condo...
>Stink!<
"GYAAAH-HAAAAAA! WHAT'S THAT SMELL!?!
It's GOTTA be the neighbors! Right?"
Rahm al-Ghoul stole the funding for rodent abatement
and turned it into cash and prizes for "the community."
Heh... Rats the size of puppies running over your
feet as you walk through the back lot in 011 to
get to your sled for the night.
We got to see some interesting moves
being busted back there...
"woo-WOOOOOO!"
>Yank!<
"Hey! put that damn pistol away before you
shoot yourself! Leave 'em alone! They're more
scared of you than you are of them."
Well naw... They actually ain't, but...
Our resident old timer told us about how
Hutchie Moore could yank the handle and cut
a rat in two as it ran across the alley.
That was and still is some damn fine shootin'.
Poison does not work. The only rat abatement that works is introducing predators.
SCC, surely you must be joking?! This is the first time I've ever heard of them using dry ice because it's more humane then poison. Good God, not a day goes by where I don't learn something new that just paints the morons of this city in an even more unfavorable light. Award winning community garden. Please. Give me a fucking break. Poison the fat beedy eyed bastards and be done with it. A majority of these people in this town get what they deserve.
The citizens of Shitcago are starting to remind me of the future human race in that old Time Machine movie starring Rod Taylor. Raised like cattle without a complaint to be eaten by the hideous Morlock monsters (Democrats).
Chicago will never be as cool as Baltimore or California...
https://i.ibb.co/vBKCWwr/X.jpg
We can try however? What say you, Groot!?
These fucking mayors who try to make the city
like a neighborhood are to blame
The dry ice actually worked at killing the rats in their dens, but the city got stopped by the environmentalists morons.
Pay the pissbums a bounty of $0.25 per rat. I seem to recall a video from somewhere of a bum beating rats with a plastic wiffleball bat as they came out of a burrow.... Inexpensive, effective, and puts the homeless to work!
I have a garden on the edge of Chicago, no rats.
More suburban than urban.
If I ever saw a rat in my garden, I would buy a gamo pellet rifle with integral suppressor and solve the problem.
Government is not the solution to every problem, sometimes, they obstruct the simplest remedy.
You can't call a shithole a shithole anymore. The crazy liberals will have a fit. Oh well, libs. I'll offend you anyways. The south and west sides of Chicago are shitholes.
Dry ice? Where do they sell it?
We used to have fun with that stuff as kids.
Kind of ironic that rat infestation in all the major cities is becoming a symbol and metaphor of Democratic party policies.
Neighborhood relations or CAPS in 011 a few years back cleaned up the alleys beautifying the area for the competing street corner pharmacies. It was a welcome sight seeing the officers to lay down their guns and pick up a janitor's broom. Operation clean sweep.
Maybe CAPS officers can humble themselves and concentrate on four-legged rodents and assorted vermin along with the trash. Let the hard charging Five-0 type police handle the two legged rats utilizing sticky paper legal traps and lockup jail cages to get a handle on the human garbage.
Together We Can!
Rats. What happens when government doesn’t govern logically, ethically or responsibly.
same show for 30 years always been a fan
I used to have a small garden in my back yard.... tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, parsley, basil, etc. Had to stop five years ago because of the rat problem. Now they are so emboldened they run on the sidewalks with impunity. Walking home from a restaurant with my wife. I told her to be on alert because this certain spot is where they roam. Sure enough a pair of good sized rats ran by.
Even with the use of poison I wonder how much it would help. People are such slobs throwing garbage on sidewalks and streets, not picking up their pets crap and leaving bread out for birds when all they attract are pigeons and rats.
I will miss my friends and the great food here but I honestly can't wait to leave. Thanks Danny. Thanks Byron.

Oh the horror of it, the liberalites have ratophobia. Sitting at the coco puffs bistro having a little wine and gnosh and seymour the rat is doing a tarzan swing thru the sunflower seed stalks. Alligators, rats, cougars, cohos, we got it all here.
The comments about rats being part of urban living from the residents were hilarious.
Come on down to Streeterville, the rat population is HUGE. Walk along McClurg and see the rats scamper along the sidewalks, slink along in the planters, cross Ontario and Ohio with impunity. Not afraid of the people. Not afraid of the dogs. Look at Ability Labs' filthy sidewalks and planters, strewn with fast-food liter, chewed gum, cigarette butts, and spilled food/drink. Rats, human feces, and fleas too.
You’re seeing these “community gardens” pop up in nice neighborhoods. Stop it with this ghetto bullshit. You know who else has several community gardens? 011. I agree with Mr. isbell, they look like fucking garbage. These people need to put their little gardens in their own backyards and stop playing around in the public area, they look like giant overgrown patches of weeds. You want vegetables? Go to the store. There’s farmers markets too. Best part about them? They get up and leave when they’re done. I’m telling you, go find one of these gardens, they look awful.
The rats resent the attention. They say it's racist. They also asked for reparations.
Total bullshit "...for an otherwise clean neighborhood,...". I (not LEO) worked that area including Fulton and Randolph streets and rats were everywhere. Open dump boxes with meat and fish waste were next to buildings. Rats are territorial and don't leave if you rehab. I wouldn't eat or live anywhere around there.
don't buy the (state) farm
This is a metaphor for life in Chicago...
When you rely on your government to fix a problem, it only festers and becomes a bigger problem.
I guess the urban settlers in this story don't know how to fix a problem themselves. So here is some advice...
Rat traps cost about a dollar (in Chicago, they are about $2) For bait use any piece of dried fruit, like a raisin or something. The first day, you will catch two or three. Catch a breeding female (or two) and you wont see many rats around after a short while. Keep the traps set for several weeks, and your rat problem is abated. All for less than 5 dollars if you use two traps.
It's simple really...That's why it cant be fixed by city hall.
Who would have thunk it?
The left leaning liberals have reached out and even influenced their rodent counterparts
Now we have... Vegan Rats!
All part of the "progressive agenda". This article explains it well.
http://www.intellectualconservative.com/the-progressive-socialist-agenda-must-be-stopped-part-1/
Damn these demorat bastards.
To be fair, rats are a problem everywhere in the city this summer. If you think you're immune, sit outside your house at 2am. You'll see them
Yes sir, rats.
I was driving on Racine south of Harrison when something darted across the street in front of me. Smaller and faster than a cat or dog, it was definitely a rat.

No media coverage by shithole chicago..2 women targeted & killed because they wanted drug sellers out.if police involved ,even the Clown Chicago mayor wrongfoot would be whining racist ,,, along with the "community"
I watched Willard last night the cat didn't do very well against the rats I'm just saying. Shithole city
I had a S&S worker tell me that because of the grid system that the garbage trucks are on now the garbage trucks are moving rats from
The west side to the north side He said before a truck would stay in a certain area for the day. Now the truck that is picking up on the west side in the morning and then goes north and brings the rats along with it.
There's one of these "community" gardens across the street from my cond building. They're an eyesore. We fought with them to not put up their compost station next to our parking lot. That's probably one reason this place has rats.
Rats are very tech savvy. Recruit them to fix AIRA.

Keep a couple of cats in the garden and the problems solved.Any relatively bright 12 year old could tell you that.
forget the four legged rats. target the two legged rats called democrat politicians.
Cats prefer mice and birds. Snakes, owls and falcons are better rat predators.
asshole democrats over the decades really appointed some real beauties to the bench.
in this shithole town rat hugging environmentalists hod no trouble convincing a judge that killing rats was inhumane?
end of days or twilight zone?
Not two, seven.
Seven man, that’s the number.
Seven little chipmunks twirling on a branch, eatin’ lots of sunflowers on my uncle’s ranch.
At $32,000 for just one scrawny alligator...a rat elimination program could cost billions, think of all those jobs.
I think it’s India that has that per-rat bounty, but many third world countries eat their catch too.
Rats, garbage and crime are all linked but Democrat run cities won’t admit it when votes are at stake.
Of course too, CPS could include a semester lesson or two on sanitation, use of trash receptacles and the fundamentals of broom and dustpan operation.
Do they even have trash cans on the community streets anymore?
And why am I paying $8.50 a month to put my garbage IN the can?

I started leaving treats for a stray cat & I don't see rats running across my back yard anymore.
The liberals get more ridiculous every day. Poisoning a rat is inhumane? How many people died from the Black Plague caused by flea bites carried by rats. Environment assholes are worried about using dry ice. I’ve read that dry is very effective and will penetrate deep into the rat burrows. Dry ice is frozen co2 and it is cold. As it melts it moves even lower into the burrow and stops who knows how many rats from exhaling any more co2. Sounds like a winner to me.

You'd think it would be preferable to introducing poison into the food chain. Why kill the hawks, owls, coyotes, etc.
Environmental dingbats never understand there are consequences to everything!
Cook County Preserve environmental nutcases are adamant about destroying all trees in the preserves because they are not native. They want praries now. They use carcinogenic poisons, fire, anyhting as long as their agenda is met.
These people are so far from environmental. They don't respect farmers or businesses only their illogical utopia
If I lived in the city, especially in an area that was known to harbor rats, I'd have a good rat terrier on hand to deal with them.
They are rat killing machines.
I used to park my car over by Cedar and Rush St quite a while ago. One of the attendants was a South African college student here and they told me he could corner a rat and make it try to run past him and he'd kick the thing like a soccer ball against the wall, killing the rodent. There were lots of rats down there over 30 years ago, just like now.
Chicago is full of rats...they are all at city hall !!!!!
We will not criminalize homelessness or mental
illness. That would be very Trump-esque.
(Democratic) mayor
Mayor blames Trump administration for lack of
funds to control illegal drug use, lewd acts in alleyways,
panhandling in cultural district.
Portable public toilets installed in S.F. Tenderloin district.
50,000 flushed recorded by attendants so far.
Lori needs German WWII general pants.
Peg leg at bottoms for easy fit inside jack boots,
rounded tops at belt line thru upper thigh to
accommodate freedom of movement.
Super nice silhouette. Unisex. Iconic Hugo Boss
design. Timeless style.
Goodie! Cats the musical is coming to Chicago.
Fourth-longest running musical of all time!
City promises increased bicycle cop presence
to protect patrons. Reduced late-summer ticket prices.
With all those children in Chicago who are so damn happy to use guns, why not bring them up to this garden and give them $100.00 per dead rat?
Solves the poverty problem, gives them target practice, kills a bunch of rats.
Easy-peasy!!
Chicago is a SHIT HOLE and the mayor is a SHIT HOLE.
Democrats want the right to kill newborn babies but won't kill rats? Something is seriously wrong!!!!!
The fifth floor of city hall is full of giant rats, some even wear leisure suits!
Poison is better than cats, who mostly want birds and mice.
Try natural predators, such ad owls and ferrets.
M-80's work good in rat holes too...

You sir, are a genius. May I suggest she wears the Panzer beret (Schutzmutze), not only is it chic, but she can look like a black panther and Che Guevara.
She can be a national socialist, revolutionary, womanist and marxist at the same time.

You bankrolling this?
(Cue Jeopardy theme.....)
There's a guy on YouTube who has MINKS that LOVE
going in and killing the shit out of rats in their
burrows...
Those that try to flee?
Get chased down and torn the fuck up by his female short-hair
terrier type dog and the OTHER mink.
We had NO IDEA that minks were as vicious as these are.
Yeah... They're Weasels by any other name and Weasels
are mean as fuck but damn...
The funny bit is that he bottle-fed and hand raised
the minks and a couple of them have been imprinted
early enough that they're very affectionate toward
him but they get all up in a rat's ass like cheap
tissue.
He works the big cattle feedlots out west.
It's funny when the minks scamper down a rat hole
and seconds later you hear rats screaming and crying
in fear and pain and you see them FLEEING out of their
"emergency exits."
Heh...
Kind of like how we remember Policing BEE-AY-DEE,
mind-locked/hard-head, willfully ignorant,
death-loving/society hating m/fers used to
be so much fun.
Good Times...
Muthuh Naycha is SCARY.
Go to pritzger park on state street next to the library you won’t believe the number of rats, people stop and film them on their phones
The bounty for dead rats is the way to go. Start at $1 or $5 and raise it until enough are turned in. Capitalist, market-based solution paying for quantifiable results!
I use big ass snap traps hidden in special "boxes" around my place.
Sound like a 22 when they go off.
Get me anywhere from 3-12 rats a year that way.
Normally I find them when they start to stink a bit.
The folks in New York City say things have gotten worse since they started using plastic garbage cans and garbage bags. Back in the day a tight fitting garbage can lid on a metal can was something that helped. Now piles of garbage are everywhere and the removal of 110 trash cans on the Upper West Side is making people madder still. A very expensive area and rats all over. In 2017 there were reports of rats jumping into strollers at Central Park playgrounds. And de Blasio the two-legged rat in charge and lol running for president. Well you elected him Twice. What say you, New York City.
As far as Baltimore, the rat problem is nothing new. I found this article from 1993 entitled "RATS: a War in the Streets East Baltimore neighborhood takes on brazen rodents". Looks like they lost the war. But I'm sure that ferret face deputy commish that was robbed will take care of that problem too.
Lakeview neighborhood, no extra charge for the rats. Rats love democrats, now if they could only vote. Perhaps Lori can work on that, make it an official sanctuary city for rats. Does the little green toad speak rodent? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBHTc2Y-6-E
Rats are all over the suburbs too - getting out of hand. They are embolden and run around in daylight. Thanks Shitcago
It cost Chicago $34K to get rid of one alligator. If the government even tries to deal with the rats it’s going to finally put Chicago into bankruptcy, especially when all the aldermen get their cuts of the contracts.
Jane Byrne or Harold Washington replaced the metal trash cans with plastic ones, probably under the guise of cost.
Put a bounty on the ubiquitous Chicago rat, and specify the rat must be under ten pounds, because otherwise... well.
I'm dead set against poison, but possums, cats, dogs (rat terriers and dachshunds are especially good), BB guns, pellet guns, and wrist rockets are all good rodent control methods.
a couple of things. garbage brings rats. no food no rats. never seen a rat where i live for decades. no garbage. i patrol my huge yard every day for wind blown trash.worked the ghetto for 30 years garbage everywhere. reap what you sow ghetto people.feral cats work extremely well and need zero care. in south louisiana the south american nutria a giant rat is out of control. they tunnel thru the dikes and cause them to fail. the state put a 2.00 bounty on them and the poor swamp folks hunt them with. 22 s and turn in their tails.they wont win but have reduced them to a manageable number. the city will spend 1000.00 a rat and fail. let the free market and the poors inate nature to kill do its thing. next thing you know the state would be putting them on the endagered species list. gotta want to do it. idiots that want the govt to solve all their problems have obviously never worked for the govt lol. gamo pellet rifle and your the new annie oakley!
Dry Ice used to be my nickname.
I was smokin' but I was cool.
I've worked community gardens and if managed, they are a great asset to the community, especially for the working poor, the elderly, etc... They just need to keep the area clean and have a resident cat. Even the Hippies running greenhouses use cats to keep the rodents at bay. Cats don't prefer killing birds, they prefer to kill anything moving. My 6 lb cat killed rabbits, mice, moles, voles, and birds. She left them dead and usually headless next to my truck in the driveway. Presents, per se. The cat had a food dish and ate regular cat food but killing was her obsession. So....
Step 1. Rescue a thin cat. Build the cat a small, elevated shelter at your garden where it can watch and ambush prey.
Step 2. Feed the cat something it loves once in a while (Tuna) at the spot you want the cat to hang around.
Step 3. Pet cat once in a while, they will bring you gifts.
Step 4. Buy pooper-scooper to pick up the bodies.
Rats are too big and scrappy for cats.
