Wrigley Field, home of the Major League Baseball’s Chicago Cubs and a ballpark whose history dates back to 1914, is in the midst of a renovation. Good news for fans seeking modern amenities, but bad news for residents of the adjacent neighborhood, Wrigleyville, where residents are complaining about an influx of rats. “The rats have been running rampant. I’m not kidding you,” Wrigleyville resident Terie Kata told the Chicago Tribune. “There are people in the alley and there are still rats running around and it’s daylight.” Terminix took to its Facebook profile on Jan. 30, to announce that from now until the Cubs open their season on April 5 against the St. Louis Cardinals, they’re offering area residents a 25 percent discount on all rodent and wildlife removal services.
