Concern over the rat population prompted the DC city council to write and pass a law that rats in DC have to be relocated in families rather than killed or sent to a wildlife rehabilitator.
The Virginia AG is concerned that the rats will be crossing the river to Virginia in droves; since there are so many rats occupying DC, this is a real problem.
“As for the rat infestations at the Occupy DC camps, treatment of those problems is also made more difficult by new EPA restrictions prohibiting the use of rodenticide products further than 50 feet from buildings,” he told CNSNews.com by e-mail. “The new EPA restrictions also limit the use of rodenticides to commensal rodents, so the only [way] pest management professionals can legally manage non-commensal rodents, such as deer and white-footed mice in the District, is to live-capture them or build a completely rodent-proof structure."We have always known there are many rats occupying Washington DC.
On a related note, unlike some parties, we do not regret Congress having a futilely unproductive year.
It seems that the more they're in town, the more rules they dream up to protect rats, feather their own nests and such.
But I repeat myself.

I was just seeking this information for some time. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your website. I wonder what's the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this kind of informative sites in top of the list. Usually the top sites are full of garbage.
