Yesterday Mayor Bill de Blasio unveiled a new extermination plan for the 10 most rat-infested NYCHA public housing complexes, which includes one in Bushwick.
During a public event at Bushwick Houses on Tuesday, the mayor announced that his administration will be tackling the city’s rat problem with dry ice, dropping it into the rodents’ burrows to suffocate them.
“It is a humane way to do it,” Bushwick Councilman Antonio Reynoso said at a press event. “I hear they go to sleep before they pass away.”
