Paris failed to cure the rodent infestation, spending 1.7 million euros a year, and 6 million rats still rampant

Recently, Anne Suris, deputy mayor of the Paris city government in France, announced that the city of Paris will set up a special body to study the problem of "coexistence between humans and mice".

According to reports, in the face of frequent rat infestation in the spring, the Paris city government has repeatedly carried out "rodent control" campaigns, but these plans have not had much effect, spending 1.7 million euros (about 12 million yuan) in 2017 alone. Therefore, the city government of Paris decided to adopt some new solutions to the rat problem, rather than simply carrying out rodent eradication operations. Anne Souris believes that we need to find a more effective way to protect human health and safety.

The rat population in Paris is very high, which puts a lot of pressure on the local ecosystem. Rats roam the school with impunity and go directly to rob people of food, even causing some residents on the lower floors to dare not open their windows to breathe.

So why are there so many rats? It turned out that the European Union banned the use of old-fashioned rodenticides and pesticides in previous years, and the rich food scraps and garbage left by local people gave rats enough conditions to reproduce rapidly.

There are so many rats that wander in the Paris market, they are not only surprisingly numerous, but also very daring, often appearing in crowds, without fear at all. Here, rats can be almost invincible, and ordinary rat-proof equipment seems to have no effect on them at all.

If you pass through any of the parks in Paris, at night, you will see a large number of rats emerging from the grass and running among the flower beds, this scene looks so amazing. In the trash cans on the streets of Paris, you can see rats scavenging for food in the mess of garbage.
