I moved out of NYC 9 months before the pandemic, and when I came back to visit in May 2020, I was surprised to see how many rats and roaches are roaming the streets. Before the pandemic, the streets were relatively clean. There were definitely still a lot of rats everywhere, but nowhere near what NYC is experiencing today.

I'd suggest you watch a few KZreads by the rescue group FLATBUSH CATS, to understand what short, brutish lives all feral cats live. Your statement is entirely subjective, anecdotal, and far from the truth. Domestic cats belong at home. They're not part of nature, they were genetically engineered by humans in a very short period of time, fheymshiildnt be allowed to roam... and they have extirpated countless wild bird species already, killing literally billions of birds each year. And, contrary to what cartoons show, they aren't as good at rodent control as you think. I'm a wildlife rehabilitator. About 47% of the wildlife I receive is mangled by roaming cats, and most of them expire or must be euthanized. i doubt you'd actually know if a cat is emaciated or not, just by a quick look, or if it's sick, or a vector spreading disease to other ferals. And if a cat actually has good weight, I can guarantee that you've got someone in the neighborhood who's feeding a cat colony.

My mom and I followed it and found out their were holes in the wall and the rats made nests. They live in the sewer as well. They are large rats too. I was a teenager back then. The rat was a white and black color with brown ears. But the other rates were dark brown. They even came out to greet us as if they expected food scraps. Mom told me not to feed them because it's not healthy. Plus they would follow us if they found out we have food. They are very smart creatures.

Absolutely disgusted by the state of NYC. I've only been here for 5 years, but the level of apathy towards the invasion of rats - not just out in the streets - but in peoples homes, trains and social spaces, is abhorrent. Nobody deserves to live like this. The city needs to invest in large bin shoots (like we have in the UK) - making it harder for rats to access trash, they need much more regular collections as well as frequent cleaning. And the cities residents need to do a better job taking care of their spaces and the spaces around them, raise their voices and contact their local district leaders to do better. I like that Chicago released thousands of cats to help with their issue, but that alone would not be enough, as these rats are the same size as cats haha.

NYC should introduce a zero tolerance on street littering and irresponsible waste disposal with a $250 on the spot fine for littering in public. Then make recycling compulsory. Plastic are never to be mixed with perishables by residents or face a fine by the councils.

I was in Brooklyn and heard a rat digging in a dumpster before i saw it. When it finally jumped out, i thought it was a goddamned cat. It was that big. Dafuq NY?

Some of them are dug underground, and are lifted up by garbage trucks on schedule. I'm not saying we have eliminated the rats, but it's been a while since we had a rat problem.

Here from the Nick reaction !!! ( Rats reassembled)

I stayed at a hotel in Times Square in January; at 2am it was pretty much dead and I was looking off the balcony when I saw a rat the size of a cat shuffling around before dipping into the sewers. Within the next hour I saw two or three more, they were truly huge. Giga chads, honestly.

This definitely has to be significant on why rats thrive there as well. I can’t see myself living in a city like that.

I live in Amsterdam. Unfortunately, the population of rats is increasing. There are underground bins. But they aren't emptied as often as they should. So people still leave there trash in front of the bins. It's not uncommon to see some rats at night. Another problem is that some people like to "feed the bird". They throw their old bread on the streets... I've visited NY 3 times and I have a severe fear of rats and mice. But I didn't see them that often.

Every costal city has a really high number of rats. I live in Pinellas County Florida and we have lots of rats. Occasionally you'll see them crossing busy streets in broad daylight. I've been walking down the sidewalk and they'll cross my path right in front of me from time to time. They also really like construction sites, particularly if they are right on the intercostal areas. Wherever you have ships you most definitely will have rats. I'm sure with NY it must have something to do with their subway system that makes rats so numerous more so than most other places. Whenever I'm at work and we have to open up the 30yd dumpsters on the site I will typically always expect to scare a rat or 2 that's in it and they've come running at me a couple of times because I scared them, but they just want to get away from me more than anything I've never worried about being attacked.

I ived until I was 13 in a 6 family house in Brooklyn. Rats, Water Bugs and Roaches were a constant. We lived on the first floor just above the furnace. Pipes ran through the floors and ceilings to feed steam to the radiators. The rats would chew the wood around the pipes to make an opening into the apartment. My father would go to the furnace room and nail the tops of cans over the chewed out part. Then he'd go upstairs and fill the gap with steel wool and razor blades. Then he'd nail another piece of steel over the top of the opening. It would also keep out the water bugs. They lived in the furnace room because they like the heat. They were about 1.5 inches long with big mandibles that they used to catch their prey. When I worked in the South Bronx that was the worst. When you went in it looked like the walls were moving. You'd turn on your flashlight and see hundreds of them moving. We carried a hammer to smash them. Their shells were so hard that if you were wearing sneakers you couldn't kill them. It didn't matter how clean you were you had them.
