"...two rats in an ideal environment can turn into 482 million rats over a period of three years."

I bet a suitcase of rats smuggled into a Trump Tower here and there would bring attention to the problem. A now for a rat song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwKWiZAuHoQ

We've dispatched ballpark 15 of them from our backyard over the last three years or so. And we're in Kansas. Can't imagine what that would be like in a bigger city.
The latest one that needs dispatching is probably a pack rat and keeps a collection of his favorite rocks in a pile behind the smoker on the porch.

To be fair, I'd probably hang out near the smoker as well if I were a rat.
