Sightings of the rodents are up a stunning 70% from this time two years ago, with New Yorkers calling in some 21,557 rat sightings to the city's 3-1-1 service request line between January 1 and September 30.

It seems like about once every couple months I read about an increase in rat sightings in NYC.
The worst one though was when the city got locked down for covid and garbage was piling up in the streets. I mean, who knew that an accumulation of garbage would bring out the rats?
