Yeah - rats! There’s been a lot of those this year. What’s up with that?
Yeah, people have been seeing more of them. One pest control company claims that Toronto is the “Rattiest” city in Canada! Perhaps they’re whats causing these soaring real estate values! 
(yes, I know, correlation =/= causation)
But there was talk of a Rat-apocalypse five years ago, so it’s not a new problem. We had some, really cheeky ones that would sit on the lawn in daylight and watch you from ten feet away. They seem to have moved on, but that was probably tied to our acquiring a dog that she actively hunts varmints.
