D.C.’s Rat-Hunting Dogs, And Other Rat Solutions

The D.C. rats are already scurrying around this spring, and it’s only going to get worse as this warm year gets warmer. We sat down with Gerard Brown, who runs D.C. Health’s Rodent Control Department, and Bomani Mtume, whose dog hunts rats in Adams Morgan, about how to stop the rats before they get out of control.
