Brinx Professional Pest Control

For South Boston residents, spotting a rat on the sidewalk or darting through an alley has become an increasingly common — and unwelcome — sight throughout the neighborhood.

According to City Councilor Ed Flynn, complaints about rodents are now among the most frequent concerns he hears from residents. “And I believe the situation is getting worse.”

He’s even heard of rats getting into people’s houses or apartments!

For Flynn, who sees rats almost daily, the issue extends beyond an unpleasant nuisance.

“Pest control and rats in our neighborhood — it’s not just a public health issue; it’s also a public safety issue,” he said. “And a significant quality of life issue.”

To deal with this ever-increasing problem, Flynn said public awareness and education have to be part of the solution. “If we do a better job on public awareness and communication, we can solve a lot.”

Flynn also said stronger and stricter code enforcement is another important part of addressing the rat infestation.
