“Dear PoPville,
I live in Dupont and we have a huge rat issue. We recently had a few come through the pipes in our toilet (like they physically tried to crawl out when I flushed – everyone’s worst nightmare). I’m at my wits end trying to find some sort of solution to this, or find anyone who has encountered this before.
After using the bathroom, a housemate flushed the toilet and looked down to see two rats coming out of the pipe in the toilet bowl. Long story short, we’re waiting on a plumber to scope our pipes to find out if there is a crack in our house sewage line, or if there’s a crack in the city pipes leading to our house.
Do you know of anything like this happening in the Dupont area?? We’ve been in contact with DC Water & Sewage and they were pretty surprised to hear about this.
P.S… who knew rats could swim for three days…”
Ed. Note: We’ve, sadly, definitely spoken about this in the past. I can’t find all the old posts but it has happened in many different neighborhoods. And now I’m going to look for the higest ABV beer in my fridge.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
