- Officials in Brooklyn showed off the success of a new rat trap pilot program Thursday by displaying the bodies of rodents that were caught and killed over the course of a month.
The new program aims to control the growing rat population around Brooklyn Borough Hall, and Borough President Eric Adams was joined by Rat Trap Inc. company officials, Council Members Robert Cornegy and Laurie Cumbo, and several community groups to tout the progress.
The pilot is said to use cutting-edge technology to capture and kill rats in a hygienic and sustainable way, trapping them in a sludge-like substance where they can remain for weeks without any odor.

How is 6ixnine gonna fit in there ?
Irvin Jimenez stuff em
It’s Treyway!!!!
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The rats in borough Hall by the court houses are insane. And with almost Manhattan foot traffic. They still walk outside like they're no one there, talk about being gangsta lol
Its called adapting to the environment. Over the years they learned to live with people. Probabaly more Rats in New York than total people population
Like that rat from malibus most wanted lmao
Eventually they’re going to be inside our homes
I got mugged by a rat wearing limited edition timbs once...all he took was my lighter but left his mixtape...true story b
Vadaski Lmao
😂😂😂😂
Lmaooo
he was wearing a yankees hat right ? he got me too
"Betta have a pass when you cross dat bridge..."🤣
Dinner and a alcohol drink. Not a bad way to go out.
Classic ! And compliments to the Chef 😂
Put a bounty on them,,,a buck a rat
BRO!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Then people would start breeding them
LMAO, good idea honestly. $10 a rat would get them all out the city
Jason Blake look up Delhi Cobra bounty to see why this would backfire.
they need a trap system like this for the politicians.
Well it’s already a rat trap? So it should work just swap out the seeds for legal bribes
If it works well in BK then set some up in Manhattan, especially in the parks... the rat infestation in this city has gotten absurd. You can't go into any park at night without seeing hordes of rats, sometimes even during the day.
We could some time in the future face a disease issue bc of the rats.
BEST TO DEAL WITH IT NOW!
I love how they say it’s “humane” when they’re just drowning them lol.
exactly. who is the one to judge what is a humane murder and what isn't? that's just something they claim to make people who have questions about the morality of it feel better.
@@aubreylear I mean least painful is typically considered most humane. But drowning is not quick or painless lmao
Why care though they spread disease and don’t even belong there
Who gives a feral disease causing rat. If it was a native animals then that's a different story.
It's not a rat problem it's a dirt problem keep new York clean and the rats will disappear.
What about the rats inside city hall?
i would argue these traps are not humane. the rats essential drown. In reality, there is no "humane" way to kill a rat. Snap trap, horrible way to die. glueboard, horrible way, starving same thing, drowning same thing. i work in pest control and the worst IMO is glueboard
Rats are rendered unconscious immediately upon being dunked in the solution and die peacefuly in their sleep
I wouldn’t care about how these disease spreaders die, there are things that eat them that kill them more brutally
They need more of these units along with the dried ice techniques they were using in cities like Boston. You take dried ice and stuff them in the rat burrows. The carbon monoxide it gives off kills off the burrows.
Leave me and my brothers alone
I thought I was going to be shown, a bag full of nasty vile NY politicians....
0:24 they caught 21? Gawd that’s like 0.0000000000000014% of the population?
21 in a single trap in a matter of days. If they set up one of these on every street corner for a few months it would put a serious dent in the population. Also there are an estimated two million rats in NYC so 21 is actually closer to 0.001% of the population.
@@bagman234 correct. You need these traps throughout the city and in buildings.
We need these in Philadelphia.....PLEASE & THANKS!
Facts, I live in Kensington I know!!!
Not going work for long, they're too intelligent
$30 million for pest control? I would do it for half of that!
I bet you would Harry chu, I bet you would🤔
I'll do it for 1/3 that.
When are you taken this to New York City Housing?
Rats are smarter than humans they will adapt
So let's get rid of the rats but not the dirty trash that keeps feeding them in the first place? mmm ok!
7saany as long as there’s people there will be trash it’s a city it accumulates like crazy and they clearly said don’t leave trash on the street... did we not watch the same video?
7saany - Go do it yourself if it bothers you that much. What’s stopping you?
@@Ash-kh4bg Just saying so won't change people's behavior. Incentives could be put in place. As long as there are no incentives much won't change. New York has been dirty and smelly since it has existed.
@@theeempress_ Oh Honey. I dedicated years of my life to obtain a degree in Environmental Studies and work in the field for a reason. Not just that but the waste control in my home and recycling is greater than that of most homes. I believe I am doing my part, believe me. Are you?
@@7saany 👍
wait are their any rat movement group going to city hall to protest. lol!
Buy like 2,000 cats and let them roam
Honestly cats are scared of them ahahhaha
There's a breed of dog which hunts rats & kills them, check it on CZcams it's kind of cool
@@sophearyouk4129 I saw a video about that. The cats don't want any part of those rats.
*this video was 3 years ago. today in the year 2022 there are more rats than ever.* LOL..
Drowning in water and alcohol is humane?
They should start putting those rat trap devices everywhere throughout NYC rt.
We need to get one for humans
This post is from three years ago and still haven't seen any of these contraptions in the city ?!
Funny how getting rid of the trash that rats feed on is only mentioned as an afterthought. At least it was mentioned, I guess...
And the fact that people want to live in New York😂😂😂
Bronx NYC should be next
Venice Hope Noo Brooklyn has most rats
Let me set up with my airgun I'll get a shot load of them lol
Killing animals is no good. Lol
did they get the ones at the mayors house
Is this how they caught Takashi 69. ?
At least he tried to do the right thing. Who wants to spend their life in prison.
Plus look at what his crew did to him?
You should become a snitch to see what it feels like.
They need all the help they can get
The Rats are smart soon they will learn and avoid the traps, it's not the first time they have done that. You need Minks and Dogs. Nature has the right answer to control Rat numbers.
some people are using dogs. but there are 2 million rats. during the time they spend killing them, there are just as many multiplying. they need to take care of the garbage piling up on the streets first.
Theyd only make the dogs sick and thereby us....keep trapping consistently and the numbers will decrease....its a long hard battle tho
@@imannonymous7707 it's an endless battle if you don't treat the cause and just the symptoms. each trap can only trap one rat, and the traps have to be changed daily. that's an extremely expensive undertaking. in the time you spend tediously trapping rats, a million more have been born all throughout the city. you have to take away the food source. the reason the rats are thriving is because people waste food, and it ends up all over the streets. plus rats will learn quickly to avoid them, like Renagl said. thinking that traps will solve anything is naive.
Clean up the city the beach etc.. make it happen make it a thing...
Thought this was about tekashi 6ix9ine
We had rats for years. Now that it reached government, suddenly it's a problem...😏
They need to change ny slogan from the empire state to the rat state.
The New York flag should have a super rat on it!
Tales of Innocence: New York
Master splinter will not be happy about this
Great at 10 a pop, you only need to do it 10 million times.
how is drowning humane?
No more chicken 🍗 wing
Now ninja turtles is mad as hell 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 they master is dead
😂
They're worried about rat traps , where did the money come for that don't tell me taxes are going up again
$400!? More ridiculous bureaucratic spending. This device can be made with an empty drum, two small sticks basically.
The us government also has a rat problem...
They need them in the subways too
The trap too small the rats are huge in NY
Yeah, I dont like seeing piles of disgusting trash bags in NYC sidewalks/streets either, look and smells disgusting, and attracts rats..
how about the rats inside the government? should you trap them too?
They need these everywhere in the Bronx
One rat can have 24 kittens.
There are over 1 trillion rats in NY
Serious question here. Why does New York have such a huge rat issue??!
Hella garbage. LA got same problem
NepToon especially in Fordham road. There’s too many trash
Because there are too many filthy low-lives living here. They stand on subway platforms and think they're out in a field somewhere in whatever third world country they crawled over here from, tossing their food waste on the floor. There are literal rivers that flow down subway tracks filled with sludgey food that people just toss out. When people stop tossing food on the floor, rats will stop showing up to eat it. It's like putting candy on a lawn and then complaining when it's covered by ants 20 minutes later. People have no logic. They never realize that THEY are the real problem.
3 years later, it actually gotten worse
Like everything else around here. de Blasio spent eight years taking a big hot dump on NYC and Adams is making sure that dump stays warm and smelly.
What is wrong with people , tell me this there not wasting taxpayers money . And don't tax payers pay enough taxes to have the trash taken out hey come on WAIT! Where did the taxpayers money go 🤔
Does it kill squirrels?
Call the mink man...
It all the outdoor dinner sheds
drowning in a watery alcoholic basin sounds so humane
Y'all keep playing around Micky gon' get y'all for killing his family members.
What a gross city.
No Wonder my Chinese spot Stop selling beef on a stick lol
SHOW THAT TO THE ILLEGALS!!!
NYC needs to import feral cats from Australia
Say what you want about my spirit animal. But a rat wont F another rat over like humans do. They struggle. It aint easy being a rat. But they get by without exploitation. I work hard at my job, but rats work 10 times harder than me. I respect the F outta rats. Go do yo thang boos.
Keep a eye on the cost Is it per month,per year per trap?
Not big enough for Diblasio.
2 years later haven’t seen nor one of these
Thats cause theyre for rats not for you , theyre suppose to be invisible
I DONT SEE 69 IN THERE
Weird flex but okay
That trap is called an ekomille btw and it’ll run you $300-$400
And now a trap for cockroaches.
I would like to buy 4 of those traps
It's a waste they are pocketing half that money
Was that Tracy Morgan's dad
$32 million to fix the problem. I can get you 100 cats for less then that and I’ll keep the change
Feral cats work as well
I thought they were going to clean up City Hall.
Make more garbage cans and Make every garbage can have a trap at the bottommmm
I bet if life had a leveling system, people would kill rats fro xp
Maybe in 5 years it will be clean
You’ll need a bigger rat trap for 6ix9ine
Someone better warn tekashi69 to stay out that area once he is set free.
If anyone thinks the rats of New York will go away, they have a nasty surprise.
They need Charlie Kelly to help
We have rats in the south, too. However, it’s a murder charge when we try to kill them off.
What state
I need this rat trap
It’s 3am and I’m really watching videos about rodents in NYC..and I live in Australia.
trump and rudy need to get some of those
$300 to $400? That stupid, there are waaay cheaper ways to do it
Finally I can visit NYC now
Please don't.
Treyway
Just give bums a dollar a rat !
Yall want to remove the rats? How 'bout yall start with the MTA Subway system? There are SO MANY THERE!
NYCHA needs this ASAP
