Efforts are underway to combat growing rat populations in two of Ontario’s largest cities, as the rodents that typically lurk underground become more visible thanks to a combination of construction and climate change.

In Toronto, the municipality’s infrastructure committee recently adopted a motion asking city council to direct staff to craft an “action plan” to reduce rats in the city.

In Ottawa, the city is exploring a form of rat birth control that is not yet legal in Canada. Local council recently supported a motion that asks Health Canada to expedite the review of a product called ContraPest, which is already being deployed in Seattle.

Global's Matthew Bingley has the details.
