Looking out my window in DuPont as I type - I count 13 out of 24 trash cans in the alley either 1) open because there are too many trash bags inside to close, or 2) compromised by a hole gnawed by rats. Residents not taking basic responsibility to discourage rats is an underrated contributing factor. Rats will never go away completely, but basic steps can help keep things under control.
