I’ll go on the record here and say I don’t like fall. All of a sudden there is nutmeg/cinnamon/cloves in everything, you never know exactly how many layers to leave the house with, and the impending doom of winter looms over everything. But the Department of Public Works makes an even more compelling case: it is rat nesting season.

What if they make a little rat nest home in your baseboards? But also, what do you do if you find a dead squirrel or a rabid raccoon on your porch? We don’t think about these horrifying questions until we can smell them. But DPW wants us to be prepared for the popepocalypse ratpocalpyse, so they are hosting a dead/hazardous animal summit tomorrow.

Chat with representatives from DPW’s Dead Animal Collections division and DOH’s Rodent and Vector Control Division tomorrow online from 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. Ask them anything dead/hazardous animal related.
