EPA Weighs In On the Use of Dry Ice for Rat Abatement<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Warmer winters have led to an increase in rat populations<\/a>, which has led to city governments taking steps to address this problem. However, the methods they\u2019re using have come under fire from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).<\/p>\n

Dry Ice in Big Cities<\/strong><\/p>\n

New York, Chicago, Boston and other big cities have tried using dry ice<\/a> to keep rat populations under control. While this method might help in some cases, it isn\u2019t approved by the EPA. In fact, the agency announced that using dry ice for rodent control is against federal guidelines, since it hasn\u2019t been registered with the EPA.<\/p>\n

Importance of EPA Approval<\/strong><\/p>\n

The EPA helps ensure that methods of pest control used for rodents are safe and don\u2019t put the public and the environment at risk. Using a method that hasn\u2019t been approved by the EPA means that these cities could be risking the health of residents and the environment.<\/p>\n
