- 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.

The city's Sanitation Department has set rat traps, but concerns remain about insufficient action to resolve the root cause of the problem.
