One Brooklyn-- Borough Hall Rat Pilot Program Kills 100+ Rats in a Month

Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams joined Rat Trap, Council Member Robert Cornegy, the Bedford-Stuyvesant Gateway Business Improvement District, and representatives from community groups in Brooklyn to announce the results of a pilot program aimed at curbing the rat population around Brooklyn Borough Hall. More than 100 rats were caught and killed over the course of a month. The pilot, which used cutting-edge technology to capture and kill rats in a hygienic, humane, and sustainable way, comes as Brooklyn contends with a rise in rat infestations. A recent study by RentHop found that Brooklyn called in 6,500 rat complaints to 311 in 2018, the most in the five boroughs. In particular, the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Prospect Heights, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Bushwick have reported an uptick in rat sightings. During the press conference, Borough President Adams called on the City to scale up this pilot program to help address areas with rat issues throughout the five boroughs.
