WBZ reports Boston ISD and Public Works officials whose portfolios include dealing with rats are traveling to New York for a rat summit of their counterparts from other big cities plagued by, no surprise, rats, to see if they can pick up any good rat tips.

I prefer steak tips.

In this age of austerity where we now only get one rigid trash bin (that doesn’t latch) could the flimsy “overflow (fee/tax) bags” be a lure and a mechanism for rat population distribution?

Also, it used to be a rare sight to see stains from where drivers dump their commuter cups of old sugary, milky drinks in the Dunk’s and Starbuck’s parking lots, but there’s been a post-Covid/delivery app folk explosion of this unsanitary behavior. Rats come for the promise of sugar milk and stay for the nearby dumpsters.
