Three Florida cities among Orkin's 'rattiest cities in 2026' ranking

Several Florida cities have earned a spot on a list they probably won’t be bragging about. Three major Florida cities all made Orkin’s 2026 ranking of the 50 “rattiest” cities in the U.S., based on new residential rodent treatments recorded between Aug. 9, 2025, and Aug. 9, 2026. "There’s no single type of city or climate that’s immune to rodent pressure," said Dr. Shannon Sked, National Technical Director at Orkin, in the study. "Rats and mice are highly adaptable and can thrive in communities across the country wherever they can find food, water and shelter." Here's where Florida ranks among the "rattiest cities" in the U.S. for 2026. Where did Florida cities rank in Orkin's list of the rattiest cities? Tampa, Miami and Orlando are among Orkin’s 50 “rattiest” cities for 2026, a ranking based on the company’s residential rodent treatment data.

Why it matters: That could mean service cuts, new taxes or fees, and layoffs of government workers or hiring freezes — although the exact impacts won't be known for some weeks or months, officials said. The amendment, which goes into effect in January, increases a tax break known as a homestead exemption from $50,000 to $150,000 by 2027 and then to $250,000 by 2028. School taxes aren't impacted. The big picture: "We're running a live experiment on 23 million Floridians with a ton of open-ended questions," former Republican state Sen. Jeff Brandes, one of the measure's most outspoken critics, told the Tampa Bay Business Journal . Zoom in: St. Petersburg will be entering the new era with a new mayor who campaigned on cutting the city's property tax rate. Mayor-elect Charlie Crist said in a statement that he'll no longer pursue that cut because Amendment 3 passed. To make up the funding shortfall, Crist said he'll look at the top of the city's payroll, conduct an audit of spending, and "go
