?? Tackling Rat Infestations at Marcy Houses ??? New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA)’s pest management team has successfully mitigated the once-alarming rat population at Marcy Houses. The progress has been inspiring for the Brooklyn-born team members involved in the initiative. "I wanted to stop the problem because it's a game; they are messing up people's cars and stuff, so I wanted to help solve people's problems," Marcy Houses exterminator Richard Henderson Jr. The team's efforts include deploying bait boxes with snap traps, collapsing burrows and more. "We want to keep them out of comfy spaces," said NYCHA pest management Vice President Josey Barlett. In 2018, the site had 901 rat burrows. Currently, that number has decreased to approximately 77. #NYCHA residents in need of assistance with rodent concerns can call 718-707-7771 or submit a ticket through the MyNYCHA app. Story and video from News 12 #publichousing #ratweek #pestmanagement
