There are more rats scurrying around NYC than ever before

Sightings are up 71% since this time in 2020.

Specifically, citizens reported 12,636 vermin sightings at the end of September of 2020 through the 311 office. That number jumped to 18,601 just a year later and, at the end of this past September, the count reached 21,577. That's a lot.

We're not surprised. Given the hefty amount of construction across town and the horrible trash collection methods that have come under scrutiny, it was only a matter of time until the rodents came out to play without a shed of embarrassment (yes, we know we're talking about mice here). 

Before you completely despair, we'd like to remind you that, back in July, four members of the City Council presented a five-point "Rat Action Plan" to try and solve the issue.

It’s truly amazing how much ppl spend to live in an actual rats’ nest. The city is super fun to visit but after five years I realized the rot at the core of the city and its severe inequality.

One ran past me and brushed the back of my foot while I was wearing Birkenstocks, I quite literally wanted to evaporate and die

I have been to a few big cities and they all have rats.

 

I remember my first night out in Tokyo, I saw a rat so big that I thought it was a cat. ? 

 

In DC I saw a rat walking on the wall, I didn’t even know rats could do that. ?
