Isn't it interesting that the word for a rat's home (burrow) and the word for that 1/5 of NYC where you live (borough) are pronounced the same? Humans and rats live in "boros." Here is a picture of some nice rat burrows in the basement of a restaurant. You can see how they tunnel right along the wall. If these cement blocks are hollow then the rats are probably using channels to travel upstairs to grab some grub. It's a seamless plan. The old school Coke bottle adds to the whole feel of rat-ness. At least someone took the time to caution the rats about the slippery floors.
These burrows need to be treated with products, bait stations need to be placed in nearby locations, various types of traps should be set, and the trash should be removed. Obviously they are comfortable here, so aggressive measures need to be taken to get them out of the "boros" and into the 'burbs.
Ew York City will return on Monday, July 14, 2014.
Everyone have a great weekend.
