This is not a rat race Ottawa wants to place well in.
Orkin Canada says our city is the second-rattiest in Ontario.
The pest control company based its findings on the number of rodent treatments it carries out.
That means because our city has a higher population, it's likely going to place higher.
Despite that, Orkin says number one city of Toronto - which has three times as many people - has four times as many rats.
GTA communities Mississauga and Scarborough are numbers three and four.
Hamilton holds the fifth spot.
