Bobby Corrigan: The Rat Man

Calling Manhattan a "Ratropolis" Bobby Corrigan shared with M&M his rat-related expertise yesterday morning when trying to determine possible causes for a client's rodent issues. Bobby Corrigan is one of the country's leading experts on rodents and has been studying the vermin for 25+ years. Corrigan consults for NYC's department of health as a Research Scientist/Rodentologist and had tons of helpful information to share with M&M about rats and their routines like:

-Rats do not see very well.
-It's very rare for rats to bite or attack because of this poor vision.
-Where there's rats, there is a food source
-For NYC, subways play a minor role in rats whereas sewers play a major roll.
-Manhattan, The Bronx, and certain parts of Brooklyn are hotspots for rats.
