It CVCBD has one of its mesh trash cans nearby, ask CVCBD to remove it
until CVCBD gets the new rat-resistant trash cans that it says that it
plans to buy. That will help a bit. Near where I live, the rats have a
feast from the CVCBD trash can at 30th and Guilford (at my request,
they removed the can, but then they put it back).
Also, I will second John's suggestion. At one time, I had a bird feeder
and could not get rid of mice. Finally, I got rid of the bird feeder
and voilà, no more mice.
The only way to really get rid of rats and mice is not to feed them.
Incidentally, rats do not travel very far. DNA studies apparently have
shown distinct slight differences between rats in West Baltimore and
rats in East Baltimore, or so I have read.

Regina--
I had a horrible rat problem in the back yard several years ago. When
the city began its recycling program, I got serious and bought
trashcans with lids for garbage and recycling containers. That cut
way back.
I'm sure you already cover trash, but those who don't should seriously
consider putting lids on trashcans.
Mice? I'd like some ideas too.

Hello Everyone,
I was just notified that my third floor tenant has a mouse problem,
maybe a
rat? We don't have these problems in the rest of the house, yet.
An occasional
mouse but not a huge deal. I was wondering what people are doing
around the
area for mice and rats. Our back yard definitely has a rat problem but
last year I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned more, all summer and spent
a lot of
time out side with my dog and that seemed to help. However they were
still
there just not as bad. ANY IDEAS!!??
