City of Vancouver interested in rat surveillance program

CBC reported on a rat surveillance program that will be conducted by two UBC students. The project has city staff considering implementing the system.

“New York has a bit of a rat surveillance program, Berkeley also has one. What do they do? What do other city cities do? And could they be implemented here?” asked Kaylee Byers, a UBC zoology PhD candidate.

Byers will be working on the tracking project with Michael Lee, a UBC master’s candidate in the school of population and public health.
