There are still a lot of damn rats in Windsor.

At least, that’s what one might speculate from Orkin Canada’s latest list of the “rattiest” cities in Ontario — with Windsor once again placing sixth out of 25 communities.

The annual ranking is based on the number of rodent treatments carried out by the pest control company on commercial and residential properties in a city throughout the previous year.

The new list released on Tuesday uses Orkin Canada’s data for 2018.

At sixth place, Windsor is more prone to rats than Hamilton (seventh) and North York (eighth), but not as ratty as Sudbury (fifth) and Ottawa (fourth).

Toronto, Mississauga, and Scarborough topped the list.

Windsor also placed sixth the last time that Orkin Canada released this list — much higher than the closest Southwestern Ontario communities on the list, London, Cambridge, and Kitchener.
