Store is infested with rats or mice it’s disgusting

Multiple RATS SIGHTED today 10 am in my way to vote Front yard 442 Poplar St Roslindale ma 02131

Neighbor still has not removed yard waste that is a rats nest. Its a really big problem. He also has old appliances and junk still I G out in his parking lot that are attracting rats. Please please make him fix it!

The rain may have stopped in Boston but it’s still raining rats over on the exposed garbage at 41-43 Mozart street! But for real - this house is infested with rats, they go in and out of the basements bc they aren’t sealed and they leave the doors open, on top of the tenants throwing their trash off balconies into the bins. It’s a health hazard.

rats seen at 84 annafran (and 74) previous post. this is becoming very dire! we need help fast. they are scurrying across the street towards 79 and 78. the neighbors at 78 saw them in 84 and 74.

Many rats seen in the vicinity of the Baldwin school ( Corey road and Washington street- Brighton) dumpster. Also school parking lot.

Big fat rats continue to run around this property. There are no signs of pest control at this house though an abatement was issued over a month ago. Burrows are still visible in front yard as well as the rats in the early morning hours.

Rats.

I'm a homeowner on South St in JP in an apartment in a large contiguous brick building. The apartments are divided into several three-decker condos. The back area of the building is a shared parking area, and also where our garbage is collected. We share 8 or so garbage cans back there, and I believe they are the cause of our growing rat problem. I see rats everyday back there, especially at night, and it seems to be getting worse. 1. Several of the garbage cans are missing lids and/or have holes in them making it easy for rats to access. 2. Each time the trash is collected, the garbage cans are left tossed around and knocked over, again making it easy for the rats to access. Even though the trash cans are empty, there is still usually some trash in them at the bottom that seem to attract the rats. 3. Some of the residents spend time cleaning up the trash cans each week, but overall there is no building wide organization to work with to try and address the problem further. I have heard of programs in other parts of the city to distribute rat-proof garbage cans, so I'm reaching out to see if we could also take part in that program. I'd also be interested in any rat mitigation that the city can provide, such as setting traps, although I really think the problem will return unless we fix the garbage can problem. Thanks for your time!
