https://www.afinalwarning.com/501690.html (Natural News) Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdowns are worsening London’s rat infestation. The disappearance of the garbage dumps they used to scavenge in inner cities has used them further from their usual habitats and caused them to start appearing in people’s homes.
Members of the British Pest Control Association (BPCA), which represents hundreds of pest control workers in the United Kingdom, have reported a 51 percent increase in rodent activity since the first lockdown in the spring of 2020. This was followed by a 78 percent increase in rodent activity during the next lockdown in early winter.

The coronavirus pandemic has thrown up all sorts of problems and challenges. Controlling a rodent infestation may not be top of the agenda, but it’s becoming a, er, gnawing issue in the UK.
