Mayor Eric Adams and Jessica Tisch, the city’s Department of Sanitation commissioner, have a plan to end rodents’ “all­-night, all­-you­-can­-eat­-buffet”

Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskMr Adams and Jessica Tisch, the Department of Sanitation commissioner, have a plan to end rodents’ “all-night, all-you-can-eat-buffet”. Rubbish, now left on the curb for up to 14 hours, will be picked up within four. After all, Ms Tisch says, “rats don’t run this city, we do.” The city has hired McKinsey, a consulting firm, to study scalable rat-proof trash containers.

But all these efforts may not be enough. Controlling rats will require everyone who lives or works in the city to play a role. Therein lies the problem, says an urban rodentologist. “One bad property-owner on a block of ten beautiful homes can cause the entire block to experience sightings of rats.” Rats take advantage of weakness.

'I'll have a slice to go..... extra pepperoni'

Not criminals, but rats.

'war on rats' lol nyc is rats' city. they just let you live there to feed them.

We should embrace our rat overlords.

Ok

Nobody cares! Welcome to the world according to Democrats!

Gross, but amazing creatures.

Every year - is this a holiday for New York?

Every population explosion is fueled by an explosion in food.

wasserpest i found your nemesis

pfft.. better to declare war on slobs and litterers.

Wen war on homeless(ness)?

Gas prices 400% higher, inflation over 20%, thousands of us jobs collapse bc of mandates and regulations by this administration. These criminals in office must be removed sued and some jailed for this crime against humanity.

Wow, finally somebody in NYC noticed the rats I'm sure now it'll be cleared right up

Why? I started to appreciate rats these last few years.. much better than some 'Leaders'

Not all rats have 4 legs...just saying.

This is very american.

Should declare a war on human wastefulness / lack of basic hygiene / creating vast amounts of litter for rats to eat 🤨

seeking earth balance 😬

🤢

Another pointless war we’ll lose

During the first 9 months of 2020 NYC was using refrigerator trucks as temporary morgues due to COVID. Commuters worked from home. The streets of NY were empty. In person dining at reduced capacity. Think this might have led to a decrease in rat reports?

Best just leave them alone

Maybe because not a lot of people were out reporting on rats during this same period in 2020

Who calls 311 when they see a mini splinter in the NYC subway? 🐀 Increased reporting rate maybe more likely due to change in behavior vs increase in rats?

They can’t stop us.

Leave the animals alone. There is enough torture on the planet

Eric Adams is all talk and no action.

Good luck.

WAR on rats!! :O LegalizeRats

that's one buff rat
