“Dear PoPville,
Rats have been a hot topic in DC—from DC Health’s rat blitz to a swelling rodent population driven by climate change.
The DC Responsible Rat Management coalition just launched a year-long study in Kingman Park testing two approaches tailored to residential neighborhoods, including fertility control.”
From a press release:
“The DC Responsible Rat Management coalition has launched a year‑long study in the Kingman Park neighborhood to evaluate two strategies for reducing urban rat populations. Led by wildlife biologist Dr. Rebecca M. Gooley, the study tests a new rodent contraceptive alongside improved waste‑management practices.
In May, researchers began treatments across selected alleyways. Over the next 12 months, the research team, in coordination with a group of community volunteers, will track fertility control bait consumption and rodent sightings using remote sensing cameras. (more…)
