The pest control & rodent removers over at Orkin recently reminded folks that Fall marks the start of rodent season when these unwanted pests seek food & shelter to survive the winter – that means coming in your properties! In honor of the occasion they’ve put together their list of the “Top 50 Rattiest Cities” in America.

Interestingly, for the 3rd year in a row Chicago has taken top spot.
