The Rats Are Absolutely Going to Hate This New York City Summit

New York City will host its very first National Urban Rat Summit this fall, Mayor Eric Adams announced Wednesday.

The summit will invite experts like academic researchers and municipal pest control managers to come together and share strategies on rodent mitigation and “advance the science of urban rat management,” the city said in a press release. Experts from across the country—including Boston, New Orleans, and Seattle—will be invited to attend the summit, which will be held on Sept.
