The Secret Lives of Rats…Bet You Didn’t Know This!

Forget about the Statue of Liberty and Broadway shows; residents and visitors are signing up for Rat Tourism in New York City…Really, no Really! As the rodent population grows in most major U.S. cities, the infestations have warranted the appointment of Rat Czars and unique and often unsuccessful-solutions for their eradication. It appears that one man understands rats and their behavior better than most, preeminent Rodentologist, Dr. Bobby Corrigan. He has been inducted in the Pest Management Professional Hall of Fame, has worked with some of the most rat-infested cities, and of course, we had to talk to him! IN THIS EPISODE: Dr. Corrigan lived with rats in a barn to get to know them. How food scarcity dramatically changes rats behavior. How two elderly women lived in a house shared with 2,500 rats. Jason’s $3,000 Guinea Pig. The garbage/rat population correlation. Can you kill your way to rat eradication? Rat Czars-are they necessary? Do Rats really appreciate Lady Gaga’s music catalogue? Humans live 30 years longer because of rats! Solving the infestation problem – Adopt-a-rat? Rats larger than a good-sized terrier – Really, no Really? Rats as pets? The good news behind the 55 diseases rats carry! The Pest Management Hall of Fame The astounding jobs kids want today!
