Abbotsford is the ninth “rattiest” city in B.C., according to a major pest control company.

But given the municipality’s size, that might not actually be so bad.

Orkin Canada released a list Tuesday of the 20 B.C. municipalities where it performed the most rodent treatments last year.

Vancouver saw the most rodent treatments completed, followed by Victoria, where a sledder collided with a rat in February.
