DAI,LAS — Residents of low-in-
omelieighborhoods, some of whom
avejkept nightly vigils to guard
gainst rats, have been fighting a los-
ig battle against rodent inf’esta-
( >ns,rity officials and social workers
One Oak Cliff resident said a rat
rawled into her bed and bit her last
ulv.
“1 can’t go to sleep until way up in
the morning because I’m scared of
the rats,” said Barbara Franklin.
She said her next-door neighbor
moved out after a rat bit one of her
children last week.
“It’s pretty much everywhere,”
said Richard Hernandez, supervisor
of Housing and Neighborhood Serv
ices.
He said about 80 of the 408 new
cases handled by his of/ice in a re
cent week involved rodent problems.
The Dallas Tenants Association
gets about 40 calls per week on rat
infestation, all of wltiih are referred
to the city, said spokeswoman Gail
Cooper.
Hernandez said there has been an
increase in calls in recent years “not
because of an increase in this prob
lem, but more, of a focus on it.
They’re repen ting it more now.”
