When's the last time you spotted a rat in broad daylight? When's the last time you saw a rat walking around, at all?
Hopefully, your answer was "never."

Rats gross me out. I know there are people out there who absolutely love them. Some even keep them as pets. If you're one of those people, I'm super happy for you. I, however, am NOT one of them. It's a hard no from me.

South Jersey Rat Problem

Reports from early 2025 show an increase in rodent activity in Jersey's most populated urban areas. Cities like Newark and Paterson, among others, have seen a spike in rats in recent years.

South Jersey doesn't have too many packed cities, but rats are still found in rural areas. The southern part of the state has A LOT of farmland. What's farmland? RURAL. See what I'm getting at here?

The region of NJ with the most farmland happens to be right here in South Jersey: Cumberland County.

Giant Rat In Millville

Video has surfaced on social media of a HUGE rat walking around the streets of Millville.

Somebody was able to capture footage of the biggest rat I've ever seen in my life walking down the block at the corner of High and Mulberry. When I tell you all I wanted to do was puke. Don't worry... I didn't. I did gag a little, though.

When you watch the video, you'll probably gag, too...

I kid you not, this thing is so big, it looks like a cat.
