Still #1

So now, they're going to try something different:

  • As residents all across Chicago continually complain of the city's high rat population, a new effort launched by the Chicago Bird Alliance aims to find a humane solution to the problem.

    Teaming up with a national nonprofit organization, the advocacy group is administering rat birth control on peanut butter palettes in a drive to move away from poison in rodent control.

    Chicago's rat reputation has long been cemented, with Orkin naming the city the country's rattiest city each year for the past decade.

    “We’re using poison still, right? And there’s still rats everywhere, so it doesn’t seem like it’s working,” Chicago Bird Alliance executive director Matt Iegleski said.

No word yet on which connected aldercreature is going to be supplying all the tiny rat condoms. 

We did hear that Conehead is volunteering to fit them on the rats though.

Perhaps Governor JB FAT-ASS can suggest an abortion program for rats in Illinois?

We're using poison and our rat population is still up there?

Imagine how bad it would be if we weren't using poison.

Speaking of trash, Meg the Keg aka 9th district's parking enforcement fills everyones emails with b.s about where to park and not park. This is the same person that got bounced from the LTS list for lying and has a mugshot from Indiana. Remember do as I say not as i do! Visitors lot is for visitors right? Not for roly poly sgts. who are too lazy to walk to her car. F off.

This has repeatedly been discussed on the blog and I will repeat what I posted a couple of years ago. A friend of mine is a supervisor with Streets and San. He told me that around 15 years ago the city stopped using poison and started using the birth control bait. However, much like the line from Jurassic Park, “Nature finds a way”. The birth control bait never has and never will work. Instead, he baits his own alley and recommends every city resident do the same.

Poison kills a lot of other creatures. A whole owl family was poisoned to death last year. Most likely I getting poisoned rats. Choose what you want, but you keep spreading it and you won't have any wildlife either. That owl family probably killed a lot of rats.

The area near Ricobene’s (26th Wentworth) to ((31st Union) is infested with large rats.

To be fair, rat poison kills so many birds and also kills all other wildlife and it's a brutal death for animals. If anyone loves animals, this is worth a shot. Rat poison wiped out a family of owls that bird groups had watched.

Are these rats counted and included in the US Census numbers?

The Chicago Bird Alliance should worry about all the pigeons and let the city keep killing the rats.

It's a city more concerned with salaries, benefits, pensions and corruption. Actual service to the taxpayer comes dead last!

Capture the rats alive and give a bag of them to each person being deported as a participation trophy.

How about enforcing the laws that require garbage cans with sealed lids? Oh, I know we already have them. It does not do much good if the lids can’t close because the bins are overfilled. Clean up the city and the rats will be under control.

Question for the Keesing Bandit: Can rats substitute for gerbils?

Fentanyl in peanut butter patties would work too. Fentanyl is a very effective killer in the U.S. for years . And China could export fentanyl to the U.S. via the narco cartels in Mexico to avoid crushing tariffs. Cartels can enhance their bottom line peddling death with epidemic overdoses since their human trafficking enterprises have been halted.

Yes, two legged and four legged vermin rats can be counted in the census! Inflated census population numbers equate to more representation in congress and greater much needed federal funding relief from the fictitious lock box politicians in D.C. talk about.

Put a bounty on dead rats. Set it high but reasonable (say, a dollar for every dead rat turned in) and the problem will solve itself.

It's they who drop food and garbage everywhere. Ever notice all the fast food bags lying everywhere?

You'd think that the better rat trap would be something that sterilizes them as opposed to the rats figuring out how to not eat poison or that is attractive to birds.

Do you think maybe, just maybe if folks quit throwing their garbage everywhere but in the garbage we would have less rats.

Dry ice in their burrows but the city wouldn't use because rat feeh-wings. There is also a product RatX, the main ingredient causes only rodents to lose the sensation of thirst, so they stop seeking out water, and dehydrate to death. It doesn't harm predators that might eat the rodents. And a hidden, dehydrated rodent corpse doesn't stink up the place. But rodents might not find it very palatable, so best to mix it with something else so they eat it.

I support the feral ( neutered ) cat anti rat program . Also , I know liberal environmentalist , “ global warming /climate change Libs get a very bad rap here and in most Conservative , Right wing places . But, I support composting of thrown away food , restaurant waste in strictly controlled compost bibs where rats can t get in and feast .

Lots of sensible “ Liberal “ positions can and do work when presented in a pro First world, pro civilization way . Margarette Sanger birth control openly worked to control , reverse the population growth of criminal Black and other urban underclasses .

So do I .

Can we send some of this peanut butter to the homes of those who birth our criminal population? That would really help.
