Here is a copy of the DC ordinance:

Note item 5, rats are excluded.

Why do people fall for these lies so easily? The CNS news article I linked the above PDF from was asserting the opposite of what the law clearly says as well. Has the right wing in this country gone mad?
It states "Commensal Rodents". Read up on the subject...They are listed as Roof Rat, House Mouse and the Norway rat.

Brian Gottstein, communications director for Attorney General Cuccinelli, said, “While certain commensal rodents are exempted from the law, the rice rat and the deer mouse are species that wildlife control experts note are within the District that are NOT defined as commensal rodents, so they would appear not to be exempt from the law.” “In addition to these particular rats and mice, raccoons, squirrels, skunks and other animals known to carry rabies, Lyme disease, and other diseases are not exempt from the law,” said Gottstein.
