New York Rodents

New York City is considering giving contraceptives to rats to control their numbers in the city.

The humorous video comes as New York is battling a spike in rat sightings.

Rat population grew exponentially in New York during the pandemic due to ample shelter and food from dining sheds.

Kathleen Corradi, who previously spearheaded the Department of Education's rat reduction efforts, will become the director of rodent mitigation, New York Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday.

If you are "somewhat bloodthirsty" and willing to consider "wholesale slaughter" of vermin then you might be the ideal candidate to become New York City's new rat czar.

The New York rat race is notorious -- the commute and the endemic rodent population. But the city may soon have a new weapon in its arsenal: rat birth control.

When New Yorkers see something scurrying, they say something and that has brought rat complaints to the city's 311 hotline to a recent high of more than 24,000 so far this year, officials said on Thursday.

The rat race is making New Yorkers ratty.
