A cat and a dog have made EVERY apartment I’ve lived in rat, mouse, and roach-free. I’m less than a block off 24th with an inside cat and dog and an outside neighbor-cat. I’ve never seen one rodent and only a dead roach (thanks, kitty) every 2 months or so. The pet food is in airtight containers, so no attraction for rodents.

Just got grossed out today while shopping for my produce at the market on Mission between 20th & 19th.

Previously I saw big bites taken out of watermelons but decided to ignore it and wash my fruits and veggies twice. I tried to trick myself…how could a mouse/rat get its mouth around a giant watermelon? This also made a funny picture in my head with a tiny mouse carrying a giant watermelon, like an ant carrying a picnic basket. So then I got distracted and forgot about it.

But today I saw rat traps and mouse traps laid out in plain sight. With guava paste as the bait…really?

Gross. Time to shop somewhere else.

i moved in with my boyfriend last November, and he had mice.
i brought the cat with me, and we haven’t had a mouse since, (or spiders for that matter)

I have lived at 21st and Bryant for 15 years, first ten NO RATS! However, the last few months my cat has caught a huge rat and brought it to me DEAD, plus a baby rat and small mouse. No rodent will survive with my huge cat around. However a racoon does try to come in the house and eat her cat food.

I live across from the SF General parking lot on Utah and 24th. Our yard is infested with rats and so are the ivy patches that surround the parking lot across the street

Rats will feed off of pet food, had an issue w/ a tenant who would not stop leaving out food for her cat and dog, rats moved in and multiplied. If you’re fat and lazy, and your animals are fat and lazy, the rats will win. but that’s just me being weightist.

If the bubonic plague ever comes back to wipe out entire populations, it will have been born on 24th & Lilac Street.

we moved to a house in oakland ten years ago that was infested with mice, rats and cockroaches. Three cats inside and tito the rat terrier inside/outside completely solved the problem.

we live near 14th/valencia and watch the rats run by every time we are coming or going from our building. they are typically running down the street or out from under cars. we call it the great rat highway. luckily they stay out of our building. we do have a dog and she is definitely a hunter. she killed one once by pouncing on it when it tried to come in our front door.

I have but one cat, and noticed a dramatic drop in cockroaches as soon as he reached about 1 year old. Good kitty!
