Re: Are there More or Less Rats now??
It was a fair few years ago now but I remember the councils in Brisbane and Sydney (and probably a few others) had rat catching teams of a bloke and a Fox Terrier to keep the rat population in check or at least try to. Not sure if they still use the dogs as I'm sure it is now considered an inhumane way to get rid of them although the dogs were very fast and extremely efficient rat killers.
I've seen a few in Siem Reap and in various places in Se Asia but sort of accept it now as being a part of living here. Not much different from back home in Australia in regard to rats being in the enviroment.

It’s not the rats you need to worry about.. it’s the rat king we need to be on the look out for!

Looks like the local rodent population could change..
Hungry rats may turn to cannibalism during the coronavirus outbreak, and it could lead to a breed of aggressive, resilient rats in the future
According to multiple experts, rats who usually feed off garbage from restaurants and arenas have been left hungry as establishments have closed or limited operations to help prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Now they rats looking for new food sources, but options are grim.
Rats will likely, Corrigan said, turn to cannibalism and infanticide to survive.
“It’s just like we’ve seen in the history of mankind, where people try to take over lands and they come in with militaries and armies and fight to the death, literally, for who’s going to conquer that land. And that’s what happens with rats,” he told NBC News.

Re: Are there More or Less Rats now??
Personally, I don't like the rats, but they don't bother me too much. It's the cockroaches that get me. Ugh. Disgusting. I kinda want a "house tarantula" to keep them out of my apartment. I don't get many in my current place, but even one per month is too many.
Do you think the parents of baby boomers whined so much when the boomers started changing society? And yet the whiney ones like to call young people "snowflakes." Hmm...
