This was a bit unexpected. When the brand new list of the most rat-infested cities in America was just announced, two Missouri places suddenly appeared among the top 50.
I demand a recount. There's a recent ranking that claims a metro in Missouri leads America in a shocking category. It has the fewest mice and rat sightings in America. Seriously?
It's a weird thing to be known for. There is one Illinois city that can claim it is the rat capital of America for the 8th straight year. Well, rats. Literally.
