Flies, rats and other vermin are swarming Boyle Heights. Who’s handling pest control?
Flies, rodents, and pests have become a major issue in Boyle Heights due to rotting food in a burned warehouse. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is pressuring L.A. County's Department of Public Health to address the infestation, which Lineage Logistics is responsible for managing. The city's Sanitation Department has set rat traps, but concerns remain about insufficient action to resolve the root cause of the problem.
