NYC officials tout rat crackdown success by showing off carcasses

Officials in Brooklyn showed off the success of a new rat trap pilot program Thursday by displaying the bodies of rodents that were caught and killed over the course of a month.

The new program aims to control the growing rat population around Brooklyn Borough Hall, and Borough President Eric Adams was joined by Rat Trap Inc. company officials, Council Members Robert Cornegy and Laurie Cumbo, and several community groups to tout the progress.

The pilot is said to use cutting-edge technology to capture and kill rats in a hygienic and sustainable way, trapping them in a sludge-like substance where they can remain for weeks without any odor.
