'They're just everywhere': Residents plead for help tackling rat problem

Months after residents in Mayfair raised alarms about a rat infestation, neighbors in other parts of Northeast Philadelphia say they face the same problem on their block, too.

Residents urge city and state leaders to take stronger action as they confront rodents damaging cars, invading yards and creating what some describe as a growing health hazard.

Dawn Amoriello, who lives on Friendship Street, said the rats have become overwhelming.

"They're just everywhere and you can't get rid of them," she said.
