Descrizione

For several months, I have seen rats, some the size of squirrels, around garbage super-cans in the short alley behind 1622 , 1624 & 1620 Floyd Ave. My dog has flushed them from around the garbage cans ( which more often than not are overflowing or spilled onto the ground ) and I have watched then scurry underneath the fences behind all three of those addresses. There now is a discarded mattress & box-spring, furniture and other debris in the alley.
I contacted Richmond animal control, several weeks ago, who said they do not handle rats and would pass it on to Richmond Health, but it is continuing to get worse.
Today I saw four smaller rats, causing me to wonder if there are breeding nests of rats burrowed in those back yards.
