>>2690369As Paris has slipped further into third world status, it has encountered a serious rat infestation. Nothing seems to be helping, most likely due to a competency crises and lower standards of living brought in by new immigrants.
I’ve never been in the catacombs, but generally rats do stay in sewers in the winter, ostensibly because it’s warmer underground. Unfortunately /out/ is completely unaware as to how to deal with rodents (the assumption on the board is that bears are the only threat to food, and rodents don’t exist in the wild, despite what many have witnessed first hand).
Ursack makes bear and critter proof bags, and they’re probably the most popular brand. Armored Outdoor Gear makes one specifically for rodents, called the RatSack. Odd that they make something specifically for rodents since bears are the only threat, right?. The Ursacks are very expensive because they’re bear proof, while the RatSack is much cheaper but still pricey.
You might be able to get away with a hard plastic case. A cloth bag won’t cut it.
