Why So Many Cars Have Rats in Them Now
The New York Times 08-03-2022
During the pandemic, rat sightings have also gone up (or at least more New Yorkers have complained about them). Between 2020 and 2021, the number of calls to the 311 hotline increased by well over 8,000, according to NYC Open Data. Michael H. Parsons, a research scholar at Fordham University and an urban rat expert, is the co-author of a 2020 study on increased hotline calls about rodents. “When things started shutting down, the rats lost access to their usual food sources,” he said.
Like other New Yorkers, rats had to improvise and adapt. “Rats can adjust to human behavioral shifts very quickly,” said Jason Munshi-South, a biology professor at Fordham who has conducted research with Dr. Parsons. “So when the pandemic altered our behavior, it impacted the rats as well.”
