Jeremy, this program in the city hired locals to answer the phone and they could not pronounce iradication, so when the housing inspectors called they would have to hear, "Rat ratification, how may I help you?" 

Half of the housing inspectors had English literature degrees and they groaned audibly when telling me about this.

Baltimore City has the third largest rat population in the U.S. behind New York and Boston, but Baltimore County has a lot of waterfront, and apparently the Norway rats are following the hoodrat example and spreading out.
