Ratmageddon: Why rats are overrunning our cities
Rising temperatures are leading to a surge in rat populations in cities like Croydon and New York, causing health and sanitation concerns. Experts like Dr. Bobby Corrigan link this rise to climate change, urbanization, and our habits like fast food consumption and improper waste disposal. Traditional rat control methods, like poison baits, are becoming less effective due to rats' ability to adapt and genetic immunity. Rethinking our approach to waste management and urban planning may be the key to curbing the rat infestation issue.
