    The rat problem in New York City goes way back—probably further than you'd think. The infestation started developing in the 18th century when Norwegian rats (also known as the brown rat, alley rat, or sewer rat) arrived from Europe, Nicole Carpenter, president of Black Pest Prevention, tells Fortune.17 May 2024


    For a long time, the number of rats in New York City was unknown, and a common urban legend declared there were up to five times as many rats as people. However, a 2023 study estimates that there are approximately 3 million rats in New York, which is close to a third of New York's human population.

    17 May 2024 — The major culprit for the large rat population in New York City is poor garbage management—largely due to the city's high population.
