A particular pest is causing problems at Public Square. We spoke to a manager with the city's health department, who explained why more people are seeing rats.
“They come out at nighttime, morning time, and all the time,” explained one city resident.
“They’re nocturnal creatures, anytime you see them during the day that’s a sign of a more-than-average infestation,” said Robert Peterson, Program Manager for Code Enforcement Unit Cleveland Department of Public Health.“See how the stick disappears? Take a packet of bait, jam it right into the hole. These guys aren’t real good at vision, they get around by feeling. When they bump into the packet, they’ll chew right through it. There goes the poison, there goes the rat,” explained Peterson.
