Big thanks to both Kent and Alex, who wrote in to clarify that giant inflatable rat from a few days ago. Turns out, it wasn't related to the pest control place at all, and was all about the new construction site on North Ave.

According to Kent and Alex, the rat is used by protesting union members to indicate the use of uses non-union labor. Non-union workers are referred to as "rats" for "selling out."

Thanks guys!
