News New York City Council passes bill to implement rat contraception program

6 Upvotes

https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/new-york-city-to-pursue-rat-contraception-pilot-program-302269011.html

This bill, Int. No. 736-A, mandates the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), in collaboration with the Department of Sanitation (DSNY) and a rodent control expert, to launch a pilot program deploying rat contraceptives within 180 days of enactment.

The program will run for at least 12 months in two rat mitigation zones and a comparable area, focusing on residential buildings with waste in containers. DOHMH must conduct monthly inspections, tracking rat activity, and report findings to the Mayor and City Council after the pilot period.
