Rats Do Eat Plastic

Here are a few examples of rats eating plastic - rats have eaten holes into these garbage and recycling cans to get at food inside. Holes like this tell us that there are regular and consistent food sources in the cans - the cans are being left out with garbage in them for extended days. The recycling can with the rat hole indicates that the recycling materials in this can are often not washed very well - if they had been cleaned the rats wouldn't be eating the plastic to get in.

All the photos are in our alley.
