NYC to Host ‘Rat Summit’ as Mayor Says His Policies Curbed Pests

New York City Mayor Eric Adams says he’s winning the war on rats, and now he wants other leaders across North America to learn from his fight.

The embattled mayor, who in recent weeks has been rocked by the resignation of key allies and federal probes into his inner circle, said the city will host the National Urban Rat Summit this week. The event on Wednesday and Thursday will feature municipal rodent control experts and pest researchers from as far afield as New Orleans and British Columbia.
