Hello neighbors,
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but my wife and I spotted rats running around the Gessford Court alley this weekend. I'm calling the city today to see about the city's rat abatement program, and will report back what I learn. In the meantime, I strongly urge everyone to ensure they are NOT leaving food items out in their back patios, watch pets closely to ensure they are not eating rat droppings, and please clean up any weeds or grass around your backyard entryway so the rats have fewer places to hide. Please also make sure garbage is secure - I'm not sure what to do about this situation so please feel free to chime in if anyone has other suggestions.
