Six Years - #1 in Rats
Groot, carrying on the Rahm tradition:
- Rats have taken to the streets of Chicago, yet again. Orkin released its Top 50 Rattiest Cities List today, and for the sixth consecutive time, the Windy City takes the top spot. New to the Top 10 this year is Baltimore, taking the eighth spot, and moving into the Top 20 is San Diego, rising 13 spots to secure the #19 ranking.
Orkin ranked metro regions by the number of new rodent treatments performed from September 1, 2019 to August 31, 2020. This ranking includes both residential and commercial treatments.
We can attest to seeing more rats most nights than we can recall ever seeing in at least the last ten years. We thought for sure New York was going to move up to First Place, seeing as how the commie mayor has cut garbage pickups and the stacks of refuse in the streets are the subjects of many conversations we have with visitors from the Big Apple. Alas, it wasn't to be.
We're thinking of creating a new Award - the Groot-fecta:
- most rats
- most homicides
- most people leaving town
We'll need t-shirts, or a poster over at HeyJackass.com

Rat attacked the aide in 009 while he was smoking in the alley. The next day he claimed covid. Coincidence? YES THIS REALLY HAPPENED. CAUGHT ON TAPE TOO LOL what a joke civ is.
I have never seen a rat in my area on the northwest side. Have seen every other animal though. A word of warning though if you have children or dogs. If you see green pellets about the size of a pea in your yard it’s the rat poison. It kills by causing an animal to bleed to death. We started to see dead squirrels lying around. Don’t know if the squirrels are spreading the pellets or how it gets in the yards. Now we don’t let our dogs in the yard unless we are with them. Called the city, they said they would look into it. Yea right.
....And the band played on.
If the Orkin Man says so, it's gotta be true. Mhhmmm. We gots to get the Rat Patrol on high alert ladies and gentlemans mhhmmm. I'm thinking 22 caliber snake shot might be the ticket. Gonna make them shot spotters go haywire, but if the Orkin Man says we be number 1 the Rat Patrol gots to take action.
I really don't see any rats on the NW side - i used to. but no more
Chicago is the rat capital of the nation.
The little rodents are casing the resident frustration.
I am not talking about the mayor.
But commonly said by the naysayers.
There is plenty of vermin in this location.
...We must try harder now to be # 1 in bedbugs....We Can Do It !
There are rat hunters in NYC, who hold up dead rats with their bare hands. Ewwwww. Yuck. Gross.
Bring in the coyotes. They will take care of the rats, and any foo foo doggies.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
The biggest and most disgusting rats are in city hall...
We Are All Replaceable
Chicago has the most 2 legged RATs and the most 4 legged rats in the country.
In the 70s and 80s the rats downtown were plump, like rabbits. They would emerge at dusk and would hippy hop from garbage box to garbage box downtown all night long. They they had a crackdown on the boxes and required them to be chained and locked. The rats got way skinnier after that, and look more like Ferrets or Stoats now, slinking into smaller holes and running way faster. Now all the rats live in the planter medians, we can thank Daley for those too. He did better planning for the rats than he did for retirees.
Now that I’m retired up in God’s Country, I don’t have to deal with the two and four legged rats anymore.
So we got that going for us, "We is # 1"
4:05 AM Snake Shot - - - that's IF you can find ammo.
My kind of town..
CHiCAGO !!!!
Most rats- two & four legged
Most homicides
Most residents leaving ..
My Kind of Town!!!!!!!
Rat Patrol
That was a good show, man.
Can you believe the current drivel like Game Of Thrones has
continued for nine seasons?
Squirrels are just rats with fur coats.
They can carry rabies just like any rodent.
A pellet rifle will be better then a 22 rifle with subsonic Ammo. Pellet rifle does the job and is quieter.
I use to work as an overnight security guard at a used card dealership on Western Avenue and I would set these big cartoonish rat traps outside the fence and wait for the snap and squeak and then I would wack them with a bat. It worked for most of them but I would get the real big ones and they had the ability to drag the trap and flick it off. I't didn't break their necks and they just went off into the night.
Officers get your COVID tests now. More than likely you will get a positive result and you can take some time off. A couple friends of mine took one of those free covid tests and they got a positive result and have no symptoms. Get it while the gettin' is good.
I once saw a rat come out of a dumpster in Chinatown that was as big as a cat. At first I thought it was a cat , but it was definitely a rat.
Oh! Orkin talking about the 4 legged type. Thought they were referring to the 2 legged type that has infested Chicago politics for decades. Oh! Never mind!
Keep an eye out for the two legged variety,their everywhere in Chicago.
Thinking...
-WHT
And this is news because?
Chicago is full of RATS.
DemocRATS.
i want the tshirt. Make sure its detailed and colorful
R.L.M. Why do you single them out and no other rodents. What is it about them you don’t like? Is it their tail? Are you an animal racist.
New CPD Policy: Carry one magazine full of snake shot
Snake shot may not reliably feed and chamber in some pistols— need to go back to revolvers. Revolvers have no problem firing snake shot
Last one to move out...leave the lights on, maybe the rats will scurry away.
Let's hope the Bubonic Plague outbreak in northern China doesn't reach our shores. I got 3 plague shots in the Army, but They're probably not good anymore.
Do they count DemocRATS?
Most kids killed
So many in Armour Square. I miss the feral cat colony on 28th/union... no rats over there.
PS: fuck lightGroot
Time to get the Cat Ladies ( more specifically, their Cats) into action! Nothing more effective than an 80 year old Polish Cat Lady!
I need a $3 Million Grant to research the effects of current CPD Non Lethal Force on Rodents. Upon conclusion of this Study, I will be prepared ( for another $4 Million) to write New CPD Policy on Non Lethal Force against Rodents. Finally, for a $2 Million per year Contract, I will train all new CPD Academy in this Policy.
2 or 4 legged? In either case bait and fumigate city hall.
Apparently steelworkers union are not happy working,nope supporting biden what kind of special morons are these?
Steelworkers union shines Biden, Harris ‘bat light’ on Chicago’s Trump Tower
You know I worked in mass transit and all the "union" workers the iron workers some sleeping making about $300,000 or more a year with the "sleeping," overtime double-triple time the thing that struck was majority live in Indiana,guess Larry cannot get the residents jobs nope she out sourced like rahm did to Indiana! So many city paid projects are given to out of state people.and looks like larry is delusional and clueless just like steel workers for biden talk about morons! Stupid is as stupid does!
The fattest of the all, is in Springfield...

Yea right
Use a EGO or Dewalt blower and blow the yard clean. They are little pricey but a must have just like a shopvac, one pass with that tornado generator and the rat poison pallets are gone. Just be really careful not to destroy your grass as they’ll rip sod chunks right out of the ground.
there’s a lot of rats in city government

Exactly the same observations I made when they were spending hundreds of millions renovating the crime ridden redline!
Chicago is full of rats...they are all at city hall!!!!!
You forgot most politically corrupt

Those must have been some long, boring nights, huh?
Shit, if you want to solve the rat problem - it's easy. Put a bounty on EACH RAT of $0.50, or $1.00 for one's over a certain weight...
Homeless will handle that shit in about 2 hours. Yeah, you'll have to pay out about $1 mil in a day, but hey - you'll save on all the poison, baits, services....
oh never mind, that will impact the fat envelopes. Carry on...
to 2:59 pm. iron workers are not in the steel workers union. steel workers work in steel mills and other foundrys. ironworkers make about 50.00 an hour with time and a half except sunday. local 1 covers chicago and when they are short other local workers nearby can clear in. their locals are small, there are ones in aurora and joliet that i know of. union jobs are just that, the local provides the men regardless of where they live. i thought cpd hated residency ? why the hate bro? they dont make triple time, all live in indiana or make 300 k year. their job is 1000 times harder than yours and probably has a higher fatality rate. and as far as sleeping on the job, sure you really want to go there ? in an ironworkers 40 year career the only place they would get a break would be a gubbmint job once every couple of years if they are lucky. winters coming, while your resting in your nice warm squad look up and see the ironworkers in carhards walking icy beams with a sledge and a spud and asknyourself if you really want to trade places. we're all labor, quit yur bellyachin .
And the Communist takeover of Chicagoland is not even nearly complete yet. Maybe we will all be eating those rats soon, like in Venezuela. Keep voting Democrat-Communist, Chicago Comrades.
Does a drowned rat looking Mayor count?
Has anyone noticed there are many fewer coyotes than there used to be? Could that have something to do with the high rat population? Cats cannot kill adult rats, they are too aggressive. Needs to be a coyote or a dog.
