Meanwhile, a dangerous rat-borne disease called 'rat lungworm' now spreading through the southeastern US.
When you think of rat-infested cities, dense metropolitan areas on the East Coast might first come to mind. However, according to pest control giant Orkin, Los Angeles also has a serious problem with the troublesome rodents.
The rankings, Orkin says, are not based on the number of rats in the city or any official count , but instead are drawn from “the number of new rodent services” – meaning how often they’re called to deal with rat infestation.If your city is experiencing a large number of rat problems – you’re not alone. In fact, cities all over California are experiencing a significant increase in rat infestations as a result of two years of lockdowns during COVID.
The parasitic worm was once typically found in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. Recently, it has been identified in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, and Georgia.
