Ontario and British Columbia are home to nine of the 10 “rattiest” cities in Canada with the highest populations of rodents, according to an annual ranking of the country’s largest urban centres.

Toronto continues to hold the No. 1 spot on pest control company Orkin Canada’s list of the 25 rattiest cities, but B.C. cities make up the remainder of the top five. Vancouver takes second place followed by Kelowna, Burnaby, and Victoria.
