Sorry, writing as I watch:
Aw, agoutis.  Of course they have to be squeaking and shown in a cramped picture.  They showed a pic of a dead rat-agouti BERK!!! Like that is what the "wild ones" look like.  And showing snap traps with rats.
Now they are going through the list of "fine" restaurants that had rodent dropping cites. And they only show that they've been cited ONCE! One site doesn't say anything.  
Oh NO!! Glue boards!! Snap traps!  
of course the "swarm" of squeaking black hooded and agouti berks.  Too bad I know that was EDITED IN!

Goodness, do they know how hard it is to keep anyplace, especially a food place rodent free?  My dad owns a subshop and since he loathes rodents, he gets the placed sprayed every season and twice in the spring.  In the end of winter/spring the rats start to come in.  The place is a haven with all that food, heat, shelter, FOOD.  But he has kept the plroblem down and the health inspector always comments that we have one of the cleanest restaurants in boston (kinda scary).

I just can't believe that in the commericals for it they showed blazed rats. BLAZED!!  Yeah, that's what all the wild rats are doing these days: dyeing their fur with a lightning blazes.  
I guess I should be used to it since they did it on fear factor.  But my problem is that they are talking about wild rats and only show pictures of domestic ones.  I wonder what breeder allowed their rats to be used as such wild creature. And the fake squeaks...ERRR!  I guess I expected more from a news station.  That'll teach me to believe the news.
