    First, a kid gets stomped for his kicks, now they're overrun with rats. Damn Havertown has really taken a tumble!

    Residents in Haverford Township voice concerns over growing rat problem in neighborhood

    HAVERFORD TOWNSHIP, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Some residents in a Delaware County community are expressing their concern as rats are running rampant through the neighborhood.

    People who live along South Eagle Road in Haverford Township say the rats have scurried in from the streets and are burrowing in their yards.

    "They're starting over here and making their way to us," said Brianna Disko as she showed the track through her backyard. "I can't have anything outside."

    She says she's worried about the safety of her kids.

    "They're running up and down our property, down our driveways, into our backyards making holes," she said.

    Earlier this week, she saw one get run over on South Eagle Road.

    "I have three snap traps set up right now," said Bill Iwer, who says he caught a rat on Thursday.

    He said he's contacted the township but is calling an exterminator next. He's worried about the health hazard if the vermin get in his house.

    "Seems like ever since they started digging up the streets and stuff is when we really started getting them really bad," said Iwer.

    Experts agree that could be the case, as construction crews often inadvertently disturb rats' habitats when they dig up the streets.

    "That's going to disrupt rats that were there the whole time, but nobody saw them because they stuck to the sewers and under the street and sidewalks," said John DiDomenico, the sales manager at A Amendt Pest Control.

    DiDomenico says you can protect yourself and your home by keeping it clean.

    He recommends that you pick up your pet's waste immediately and don't leave out a bird feeder.

    He also said, "not leaving anything out that collects water, turning flower pots upside down, kids toys. Rats need water on a regular basis to survive."

    The township says it's sent officials out for every complaint sent in. Neighbors are anxious for this problem to go away.

    "I have three young kids that play outside and I have tracks of rat poop going up my driveway. I'm not ok with that," said Disko.

    Officials at the Delaware County Health Department said they are aware of some complaints in Haverford Township.

    They encourage anyone who sees one to contact an exterminator.

    Democrats are working hard to make sure that NOBODY in the middle class will be able to move away from urban thugs. For decades, Progressives have worked to force every community (except the ones where they live) to create dirtbag zones for trailers, Section 8, and govt project housing.

    Idle scum will have all day to watch the working folks leave their homes for 10 hours per day, so they can burglarize them and steal their cars.

    The reprobate kids raised by crackhead single moms will be infesting the public schools, preventing learning, raping the girls, stealing lunch money, and causing an exodus to private schools that are allowed to expel vermin who have zero interest in grades or discipline.

    It's like the only lesson they learned from Vietnam was that setting up criminal bases inside our lines would guarantee that we would be in jeopardy, which I suppose they believe will make the middle class more malleable for Socialist Big Govt, but in reality just makes everyone buy guns and Pitbulls and Ring door cams and reinforced door frames.

    In many cities, the ONLY thing that ends criminal careers is when the criminals are killed by their intended victims, or by rival gangs, or by cops who then risk life in prison for ending a promising street fighting/rapper career of a kid who "was finally thinking about turning his life around" for the sake of his 3 baby mommas and 5 kids.

    The elites don't care where the scumbags are, as long as it's not Martha's Vineyard.

    I*m glad they caught this guy. I knew the father of the kid who was stabbed 40 years ago. His son was stabbed in Clifton Heights last year walking home from his girlfriend*s house and died.


    UPPER DARBY, Pa. - Authorities say a man who is currently serving prison time in Ohio has been charged in the "random" stabbing death of a Drexel Hill teenager last April.

    Marson Weh, 23, is accused of stabbing 15-year-old Michael Garr to death as he walked home on the 200 block of Bridge Street.

    They probably knew who it was but snitches get stitches. The scumbag will get off lightly I'm sure. A good friend of mine was stabbed,
    to death at a flyers game back in the 70s. The kid got off. People were saying because he was a son of a philly cop.
