How come rich and developed cities such as New York still unable to control their rat and mice population?
In: Other
Cities have a lot of people living very densely. And that means a lot of food and a lot of hiding spots. The cities have done as much as they can with smaller improvements to reduce the rat population. But the problem is so great that they would have to reorganize the entire city to reduce the rat population further. One issue is that of getting garbage out of the city. The more garbage the more food for the rats, mice and pidgins. But if you want anything better then garbage men driving around collecting garbage as fast as they can you need to build an entirely new system to automatically take the garbage out of the city. The problem with building such a system is that there are tons of buildings and streets in the way. It is not cheap and it is not going to be built over night.
