New Orleans rodent control teams are putting poisoned rat bait into sewers and bait boxes on streets throughout the French Quarter because rat food has become scarce due to the coronavirus response. With so many restaurants closed, rats accustomed to getting food out of Smithrite garbage’s are having to forage more widely, and empty streets lined with residential garbage cans are the next source. There are pathogens in the crazy hungry rats that can cause many diseases. The poison used by the rodent control teams is bromadiolone 0.005%, a blood anticoagulant that causes organ failure in rats that have eaten it, it usually takes 5-7 days of feeding to kill off the rats. In New Orleans they have the same crepuscular rats as us here in Delta – the slim tree dwelling roof rats and larger burrowing Norway rats.
