In Orkin's recently released annual list of the top 50 rattiest cities in the US, three cities from Ohio have made their way onto the notorious lineup for 2023. Based on the number of new rodent services and the efforts made by residents and businesses to address these critters, the rankings shed light on the prevalence of rat infestations across the country.

Cleveland-Akron takes the lead as the rat capital of Ohio, securing the 10th spot on the list. This comes as no surprise to locals who have been dealing with rat-related challenges in their homes and businesses. Columbus follows closely behind, placing 18th on the rattiest cities list, while Cincinnati claims the 31st spot.

Orkin's annual report indicates that Chicago continues its dominance in the rat race, staying in first place for the ninth consecutive year. The Windy City's persistent rat problem seems to defy any attempts at eradication, as it continues to top the company's Top 50 Rattiest Cities list.

The list serves as a wake-up call for cities across the nation to address their rodent issues promptly and effectively. Rats not only pose health hazards but also cause structural damage and create nuisance for residents. The rankings take into account the demand for rodent services in each city and the proactive measures taken by residents and businesses to tackle these problems head-on.

It is crucial for affected cities to understand the severity of the issue and invest in preventative measures, such as improved waste management and regular pest control inspections. By taking action against rat infestations, communities can enhance the overall quality of life for their residents and maintain a clean and safe environment.
