BOSTON (WHDH) – Boston has again been ranked among the “rattiest” cities in America and the pesky rodents in the city started exhibiting “aggressive” behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new report.

During an unprecedented last year, the visibility of rodents increased and their behavioral traits changed, the pest control company said.

“The pandemic-driven closure of restaurants forced rodents to find new food sources. Without food waste to consume, these pests were seen scavenging new areas and exhibiting unusual or aggressive behavior,” Orkin wrote in the report.
