Instead, property owners pay thousands of dollars in violations and the city makes hundreds of millions in violation profits. Pest control companies are a multi billion dollar business. Buildings, restaurants, etc, get so called non toxic poisens sprayed every month and many times even more frequently in every corner of their buildings. Property owners would get permits to have a cat and maintain the cats healthy and clean. They would get violations when they are not kept healthy and clean. Make sure they have all their shots, free of any kind of desease, proper kitty litters etc. That should be how to keep the city substantially rat free. I worked in a large commercial building for over 15 years with a cat in the basement and never saw a rat and maybe once or twice a mouse in the first 10 years. The minute the health department saw the cat and gave us a violation and made us get rid of it, our extermination bills doubled and soon after began having mice and rats for the remaing 5 years. No amount of pesticides ever did the job. Even when it seemed to work, they would return several weeks or months later. One cat took care of a 30 thousand square foot building. Follow the money. Pesticides, pest control companies, their lobbiest and politicians. A simple thing like a cat, no way.Lower East Siderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00873467411449137922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-23103985859164701052018-05-15T19:26:58.312-04:002018-05-15T19:26:58.312-04:00Does the city think people are going up to rats an...Does the city think people are going up to rats and feeding them themselves like how senior citizens feed the pigeons? Because that's what this current campaign sounds like. <br /><br />De Faustio and his moonie-like neoliberal cult of aides have absolutely no real ideas and no ability to run a city. Either hire more park officers to levy fines or hire more maintenance people to empty the cans. But first get rid of these stupid big belly cans, it's an obvious failure. <br /><br />https://impunitycity.wordpress.com/JQ LLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203861642095498340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-59170543259821273922018-05-15T16:04:23.539-04:002018-05-15T16:04:23.539-04:00Anon 4:31 that’s what bothers me.

These expensive trash bins are useless since they either don't compact the trash as intended or they were just another scam some company pulled on City Hall and the taxpayers. <br /><br />The money spent of these could have employed people to do this much more effectively and save the city money. <br /><br />I would like to see the city actually get behind extermination methods and stop waiting for rats to starve because there is less trash on the ground.
