Too many rats in East Somerville

There is a nest of at least 20-30 rats on Alston St, and I am constantly seeing rats when walking around East Somerville in the evening. This is the worst it's been since I moved here a few years ago, and I've heard reports of dogs becoming ill and dying from rat-borne diseases this spring and summer.

I’ve lived here for 13 years and this is still an issue. We pay monthly for a pest control company to come and re bait regularly but it seems like we are the only ones on our street doing anything to resolve this awful problem.

I have had 2 dead rats on my property this season and one dead one in the street. In the 20+ years that I have lived here I had only seen one. The problem is obviously increasing exponentially.

In NYC rats carry slices of pizza into the subway. In Somerville, I once saw rats carry away the pizza delivery driver. I, and other neighbors, fought off the vermin horde and helped a -mostly- intact delivery driver back to his car. Something must be done!

Cross Street has a big problem with rats. They are burrowing in yards and damaging gardens. The city should take additional and more serious steps to control these pests.

Density development in the country’s 16th most densely populated city has a price. And rats are one of the fees! Wake Up Somerville!

With the increased construction in our area, we really need this! They say there are more cows than people in Vermont. I am wondering whether there are now more rats than humans in Somerville.
