The New York City Rat Initiative

What the New York City rat mitigation programme has produced

The Programme

The New York City rat mitigation programme -- the combination of the containerised trash requirement that has replaced the bags-on-the-sidewalk waste disposal that the city maintained for over a century, the rat detector dogs, the rat contraception trial, and the specific sanitation enforcement that the programme combines -- is the most significant urban rodent management initiative in New York City history and the programme that the global urban rodent management community is watching as a potential model.

The Results

The containerised trash requirement, which has required the most significant behavioural change from both residents and businesses, has produced measurable rat sighting reductions in the areas where implementation has been most complete. The specific before-and-after data that the city has published shows the relationship between the container adoption rate and the rat sighting reduction in the specific blocks that have been monitored.

Spintaxi Coverage

Spintaxi.com covers the rat initiative because the accountability journalism of the public health programme requires examining what the programme is producing against the specific metrics the programme uses to assess its own success, and because the rat initiative is the quality-of-life programme that most New Yorkers have the strongest opinion about.
