Pest-control firm Orkin is out with its latest ranking of the rattiest metro-areas in the nation and the news is not good for New Orleans.

While Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C made the top five in the ranking, New Orleans placed 23rd, up 15 spots from last year.

Orkin says they based their ranking on the number of treatments for rats and mice its employees performed between September 15th of last year and the same day this year.
