Oh rats! Rat populations spike in cities due to warming temperatures, study says
City residents in Washington, San Francisco, Toronto, New York City and Amsterdam may have seen rats irritable in cities-they did not imagine pouring in.
The mouse population soared in a city where climate change or urban heat island caused war warming. It was found that Friday was in Scientific progress of magazineEssence Researchers analyzed public complaints and inspection data in 16 cities around the world, in order to estimate the trend of rats, and associate it with the global warming model, which marks these associations for the first time.

Jonathan L. Richardson, associate professor and main research author of Ritzman University, told CBS news: “We find that these cities have become more and more warming up in the trend of about 50 years in the past 50 years.”
Richardson’s laboratory tracked rats worldwide. His team studied in Auckland, Buffalo, Chicago, Boston, Kansas and Cindunine. Among the 16 cities, the population of rats in 11 cities was “significant”, while Tokyo, the three cities in Tokyo, Louisville and New Orleans declined.
There are some reasons for increasing; more intensive population and more urbanized cities have developed. Increasing warmth also expands the windows for foraging rats.
Richard said: “For mice, this means that they don’t have to stay in the cave.”
The enthusiastic rodents will crawl around, and because the physiology of rats is sensitive to temperature, women will reach sexual maturity earlier, and they will be more frequent because it will keep warm in a longer period of time.
The mouse population may have a destructive effect on the city. Researchers have found that living with mice “affects people and their hearts.”
Rats also breed diseases.
Richardson said: “They spread and carry more than 50 human and livestock, and the pathogens and parasites. These pathogens and parasites can make people sick.”
It is increasingly difficult to control the population-It is estimated that the “Rat War” costs $ 500 million each year. New York City hired its first one ““Rat Tsar Emperor” in 2023and CBIR Broadcasting Corporation New York Survey It was discovered that rats have increased by more than 7 % since the Adam government took office and launching the “Rat War” in 2022.

Richardson said that a good person is working hard in a city that is trying to control the population of the mouse, but the mice are “very smart animals, and this is a very good control of what we use to try to try.”
The study found that effectively controlling mouse cities and dedicating greater budgets to these groups and more personnel, especially for these teams to control the control of rodents
Richardson said that cities must embrace pest management companies, and their technicians must practice comprehensive pest management. Cities must focus more on “actually eliminating favorable conditions to support rats.”
