CDC Says Rats Are Getting "Aggressive" During Lockdown 2020 has already brought a global pandemic and murder hornets - now get ready for hyper-aggressive rats.

The CDC is warning that the rat population is starting to get "aggressive" as food supplies dwindle during the lockdown.

Without nightly trash from restaurants to eat, rats have gotten bolder and more desperate, searching for food during the day and fighting both humans and each other for territory.  

The CDC recommends keeping your trash sealed tight in the garbage bin and removing any pet food or bird seed from your yard.
