Rats Now in Charge at Atlantic Yards

The Atlantic Yards rat problem appears to be getting worse according to neighbors with a block association having held a meeting on how to combat the pestering rodents just this week. One Prospect Heights resident who was there told the News, "It's worse now than it's ever been. Whenever the work happens, rats are everywhere, eight at a time." The News first reported a couple weeks back on the rats and the sorry state of the demolition site, including women being harassed near the Yards at night; today's headline is "Rat-infested Yard Site Stirs Cat Calls." A spokesman for Bruce Ratner's properties naturally blamed the rat infestation on the sorry state of the site before the developer came in and "corrected the problems." If the area around the stalled project follows the course laid out in Life After People, expect the rats to return to the wild in the next few months, only to be replaced by the arrival of wolves.

Rataway fragrance stops odors caused

by rats, mice, squirrels, etc...

Makes one gallon when mixed

and protects the surface of areas used for nesting.

Rodents and other animals mark territory (your car, house, etc.) with their scent. Animals are attracted by this scent. Rataway fragrance gets rid of the scent. No lingering scent, no more attraction.

Rataway fragrance protects car engines, wiring, boats, motorhomes, machinery, heavy equipment, etc. when sprayed to protect the surfaces

Rataway fragrance is not a pepper spray.

If you are looking for an effective, natural control for odors, Rataway fragrance is it.

Again... Rataway fragrance can be used around children, pets, and service personnel.

What is Rataway Fragrance?

Rataway fragrance is a spray that is very offensive to wild animals such as rats, mice, squirrels, rabbits, racoons, dogs, cats, horses, skunks, and monkeys. Rataway fragrance is not offensive to humans.

They don't scam, don't fight

Don't oppress an equals given rights

Starve the poor so they can be well fed

Line their holes with the dead ones bread

They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way

Don't pack themselves together and run as one

Don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare...

Rats...They don't compare
