All of a sudden Saddle Brook has a big rat problem. If you take Route 80 into New York City you pass through Saddle Brook. The Garden State Parkway also passes through the town. There are several large hotels and many restaurants in the community which has a median family income of over $100,000 a year. The rats started showing up less than a year ago. One resident sent video to News 12 which showed 5 rats near an HVAC unit. The rodents are looking for food and warmth. Town Health Department officials are advising residents to cover their garbage, remove clutter and patch holes. Other Bergen County towns are reporting similar recent rat infestation problems.
