Cities Need Rat Defenses.


The city is the great stronghold OF
the rat, Its permanent refuge and Its
last lire Of defense. The rodents

soon be repopulated with rats from

older the city the more rats are found
In Il. but even In parts rebuilt after
large fires they are still to be found,
though less abundant. Many large
buildings. rat-proof as to walls and
foundations, have become infested
with rodents through carelessness or
oversight OF owners or occupants and
the animals are intrenched behind fix.
lures or merchandise. Fortunately II
Is possible TO rout the rats from these
hiding places.
The biological survey OF the y. y.
department Of agriculture recom'
mends that cities require that all
buildings to be erected shall be mnde
rat-proof under rigid system OF In
spectlon; that nll existing buildings
with rat.proof walls and foundations
be made really rat.proof by closing oil
screening every opening through which
rats might enter; that rat.prooflng re

buildings that need them. Use of dogs
