New York City becomes ‘bloodthirsty’ for the prevention of rats, will make a large number of ‘Rodent Jar’

New York: In New York City, America, a job has come out for the prevention of rats. If you’re “somewhat bloodthirsty” and willing to consider “mass slaughter” of rats, you might be the ideal candidate to be New York City’s new Rat Jar. New York Mayor Eric Adams’ administration posted a job listing Wednesday for a director of rodent mitigation, with pay amounts between $120,000 and $170,000 per year.

This job requires a bachelor’s degree in urban planning, project management or experience in government, and proficiency in spreadsheets. But above all, the successful candidate must have the determination and instinct to exterminate the rat population that is New York City’s real enemy.

Charles Dickens complained about rats
Rats are one of the unsavory aspects of life in America’s largest metropolis, often found running between subway tracks and sniffing around garbage bags. Legend has it that there are almost as many rats as there are humans. It is said that there are about ninety lakh rats in the city. However, a local statistician dismissed this figure as a lie. Famous English novelist Charles Dickens complained about rodents (rodents/rats) while visiting New York in 1842.

Rat outbreak continues in New York
Let us tell you that city officials have spent millions of dollars trying to reduce the rat population over the years, but so far it has not been controlled. During a presentation in 2019, Adams, then-Chairman of the Brooklyn Borough, unveiled a machine that immersed rats in a pool of an alcohol-based liquid. This machine is called ‘Rodent Jar’. Although the outbreak of rats in New York still continues. According to local reports, between January and September this year, more than 21,500 rat sightings were reported to the city’s hotline, up from about 18,000 in the same period last year.
