Disappearing cities of Metro Detroit: Redford, Michigan

It all started here.

Greg Hartle, who leaves near the Little Caesars location on west 7 Mile Road, told the Free Press that rodents track entire slices through the neighborhood. 
"They will drag a half a pizza into their den in probably 15-20 minutes," he said. 
Hartle, who has a home on Poinciana, said residents got sealed bins for garbage day to combat the problem, but the "flagrant dumping" of food has made the rodent issue worse. 
"It's 99.9% Little Caesars," Hartle said. "They dump so much food it's ridiculous. ... They've increased exponentially, ten-fold in the last six months. 
" Just a few days ago, Hartle said he saw some rats dragging slices of pizza through his front yard and down into a tunnel they'd carved out in his flower garden.
