Hey Spencer, just wanted to say a big thank you for your excellent research and clear writing on ContraPest. Your work is really helping people to understand this complex issue better.
I live in NYC and the rat problem is pretty bad here. A lot of it has to do the unfettered access the rats have to food in trash. Unlike most other cities, NYC was built without any alleyways, making it very hard to keep trash contained. The trash ends up in bags on the sidewalks where rodents can easily chew through the plastic and have an all-they-can-eat buffet.
I’ve been thinking about this and recently someone pointed out that some cities in Europe are using underground garbage bins.
These bins could help cut down the rat problem by making it harder for them to get to the trash. It’s a non-pharmaceutical intervention that could significantly cut down on the rat population!
Thanks again for your great work, Spencer. It’s really making a difference. :)
