Synopsis
The City of Paris is infested by rats. There are so many of them, they even don’t care for hiding during the daylight. Luckily there are exterminators, working day and night to control the plague.

Inspiration: 
A news flash on the rat plague in Paris, and maybe the Disney movie 'Ratatouille', brought this to my mind. (First named this story 'Deratisation', but eventually preferred the title 'Ratify').
