[Blacklabcollective] Rat situation - urgent

[Megan Speers]

No way I'm letting cats down there. History of poison laid is risky for
them. Rat shit is legit toxic, if you wana clean it /deal w it properly it
is a hazmat basically, esp cause its quite a severe infestation. Hanta
(sp?) virus is a thing. And as Anju said it really is his responsibility as
far as tenancy act goes. We should at least try? Maybe one of us can take
photos and stuff to show how bad it is? I dunno
